Poems
Nov 2016
I hate the mall
Buzz strut with the edgy biology
high on fumes and nonsense anatomy
Watch it gloat inside a wooden smoke shack
A snake slides splendidly
silently sowing seduction
Gun strapped and glamorous
Laughter fills the spaces
still a soul needs comfort
Cry for the mother
But she is preoccupied
Thumbs aching from the scroll
Plastic and jaded from tweets and tinder
Wine and dine floozies
half starved from vanity
Still they snap before they eat
Pay the tab and leave them to their exhaustion
Cookie cutter units with the virtual reality escape pods
Trampolines for two pennies a leap
But a ceiling denies full potential
I came here with two specific purposes
I only wanted to buy some pants and eat Orange chicken
Unfortunately I've been cursed with a need for perceptions dissected
So I wander the rows dumbfounded
not by the excess or store fronts
But by the behavior and faces of so many singular souls mingling together
I would order from the Amazon
But I find my reclusive nature needs shaking now and again
Maybe the excess empire was too fast for diving
Next time I will just fashion my own fashion
