American Fuck

by joshua-haines

Money melting in a spoon, let's shoot it into our veins. Flashing Kardashian lights, streaming into our brains. Donald Trump! He's our man! Mark Muslims is the plan! All-you-can-eat- Pile. It. The. Fuck. High. When you walk or When you talk, let the words squeak out like they're between Your thighs. Thighs. American thighs, Dreaming next to our Calvins. Our slacktivism, our regurgitated ideas spitballing out of our McDonald's mouths into our peers' ears, distilled by years And years of "almost-knowledge" that we quasi-ascertained, if we knew what that meant -- but we've been left behind! No child left the fuck behind! We were left behind and there's no possible way we slacked off, that we're dumb, that we aren't the movie stars destined for Lamborghini cars, five-star bars, designer bodies for designer you and designer me: the most special of the unique, the Pearls that have been made in the darkest parts of the sea, the darkest parts of origin. Origin. Virgin. Orgy. American Fuck: virginal ideals sliding around the muck of a marketable orgy, fuckfest, whoring of the American mind, the congratulations of the American ego, the proud mother and father tears associated with buying and lying, "trying" and frying our food, our ideas, our friends, our neo-impressionistic children in Jordans, skinny jeans, on tumblr: the unknowing cousin of Fox News, surprised by its own wit and wisdom: they're fucking twins. Carbon copies, unknowing, unwilling, un-un-un. The romanticism of mental illness. The close-up of reality-tv emotion. The manipulation taught to servers from managers. The manipulation taught to customers from society. All we care about is weed, image, and sex. Self-preservation: fuck Donald Trump and fuck you.
