American I've lived most of my life in St. Petersburg, FL. I've drank a lot of beer and done a few creative things. I make a living trimming trees.
I’m living in the future. Things are ******* great. I am so ******* grateful for the thing I ate. The skies are filled with drones. Humans lose their homes. People crash into walls staring at their phones. Smoking *** is fine. Being gay is cool. There goes another kid shooting up his school. The tv is so loud I cannot hear me think. I curse and scream and slam the door and pour another drink. The President is black. His whitehouse is all white. He spends a trillion dollars so things will be alright.

living in the future
Mournful melancholy is a frozen staircase. The ice is blue and white and it cracks in the spring sun. I slip and hit my head and stare up at the sky.

my dog is a doo doo machine my tv is a brain blender my refrigerator is a blubber bank my window is a speeding by car noise speaker my computer is a magic box so I can see what someone I don’t really know is eating for lunch box my hands will wiggle around and hold steering wheels and punch buttons for a few more years until they stop wiggling and lie still and then probably get burned up my bed is a wake up in the middle of the night and worry about life machine my friends are a get me drunk machine my clock throws minutes into the garbage can my calendar lets months rot on the wall my future is a movie poster about me being rich and famous that yellows and curls off the wall and falls on my poor unfamous skeleton
