Density

I am a miserable ****

 

Traffic jam thoughts.

Aimless speech.

Fever dreams,

coffee with no cream,

love with no pulse,

alone at restaurants,

            at grocery stores,

            at parties.

 

I have no identity.

 

Shifting shape, black to blue,

trading girls, red hair for Persian skin,

parents and gods,

politicians and lost purpose mobs,

all asking me to be sacred,

                            to be loving,

                            to be trusting,

                            to be active,

                            to have no spine.

 

All I want is a bit of my own time.

 

A grenade of change,

to end the coagulation of my brain,

to leave me hungry for anything

other than me,

didn't somebody say I was promised something?

                                            I was going somewhere?

                                            I was unique?

 

I am the same miserable ****

 

As every other miserable ****

 

The ******* that cut you off on Highway 62,

 

The person that complained about too many pickles,

on his precious fast food,

 

The boy yelling at his baby sister for getting too much attention,

 

The girl sexting your boyfriend,

 

The boy sexing your girlfriend,

 

The generation divorcing everyone it knows so it can fall in love with

 

itself.

 

All different,

in exactly the same way.

 

Traffic jam thoughts. Traffic jam thoughts.

                   Traffic jam thoughts. Traffic jam thoughts.

            trafficjamthoughts. traffic. Traffic Jam Thoughts. Thoughts.

Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Jam.

thoughts. traffic. trafficjam. trafficjam. traffic jam thoughts.traffic.

traffic jam. traffic, traffic, traffic. I am a miserable **** Traffic jam.
