kettle-corn cottonmouth kerosene
insouciant AI identifies my face
flipping my burger on the floor
treating me the same as any human
beagles barking batshit crazy borders
shooting past the shootings on Google’s lead
I don’t see the need to plead with the beast
already in place
which wolf will you feed?
rust and shadow poetry and rose
pizza boxes and anti-trusts, matriculate
plastic is eating the ocean and China
is having a laugh at what it will cost to clean
moribund taciturn republican fist
we’re all gonna die in the rain and the mist
if you get the gist on Netflix list
arrowroot my feet to the table
throw the stones and bury the bones
that will keep us all happy, post it to the story
snap, snap, look at what I ate and drank
you may not be a Nixon but you could be
a Kissinger messenger dating app
tap, tap, tap guns are fun
except when they’re not but I need
one to protect myself so my kid can steal it
shoot the bullies and the girls that say no
Afrofuture, This is America
we need more walls like some city
named Jericho, ashes, ashes, they all fall down
to the next ugly retrovirus cooked in a synth lab
while trying to invent a drug to enlarge the penis
and we all have to cry, “it’s a really big deal!”
tvscapes and faraway, I don’t read as much as yesterday
just as trapped as the next rat in the dumbing down
still digging for the scraps that hit the ground
I’ll be in debt until the cows come home,
then have to slaughter and sell them as well
but hey, at least I am educated enough to understand
unemployment rates and what the minimum wage does for us,
why selling drugs is such a great start-up
and what a great escape!
puff,puff needle, needle, snort drink stash
I’d smoke all your heroin and shoot all the hash
super-cell super-storm surge brewing in the hearts
of everyone walking around playing little parts
the Cherokee are asking us
which wolf will you feed?
I suppose it all comes to
wants and needs
Such a commentary!! You rock OP
