I slept too long
do not know why
had my coffee at 9am
doomscrolling the news
on assorted media
(inter)national
        same difference

did not brighten my mood

the same idiots
spew the same phrases
they voiced one month ago
nothing has changed

and they call it progress

All that remains
is the semblance of a human culture
that used predication and harsh lines
to guide the gray sedans
driverless
parked along the highway
blanketed in this dust
obvious orange glows indicate it is always dusk here
but I have a pizza riding safely in the backseat
I have to go to my sister’s apartment
the bank teller
with a one bedroom apartment
cat
grocery list
and a square sedan of the future
sleek grays and other deceptions
have rendered this entire City worthless
cars are there to remind me
muzac is all we have here
so silence truly is golden.
Never burst through a door in this City exclaiming you have a pizza. Rather place it gently down
on the plastic wooden dinette set that is never used while
a T.V. is on and buzzers are buzzing
audiences are oohing, and static light emanates
from this one bedroom hell hole designed to interpret
gray as a new City Ordinance.
My sister has officially declared herself mayor of Grey Symmetry City.

(This is my definite clue to bounce)

Climbing into the back seat of cars is my serious favorite pastime. There’s a huge lion blanket shoved into the corner of the seat ready to be transformed into a luxury experience provided to you by ripped up “leather” chairs,
with white stars on a backlit velvety escape after working a 24 hour shift at the local grocery store that happens to be on strike.
I’m that happy little scab who will rake in a fortune due to the idea of taking what’s mine.

sage
Sell my soul to sorrow
Artist’s lines I borrow
Worried about tomorrow
crushing bones of hollow
on this path I follow

Straight and narrow
No turns left or right
I ride into the night

Not a chance to wallow
These pills I’ll never swallow
Worried about tomorrow
Sold my soul to sorrow

Being a cigarette snob
Is totally okay

Out.

Out.

Get out
And miss
My door.

I only have room
For one
Person.

Myself.

And,
I don't even like
Him.
