Lackluster life lived
     as each subsequent day,
a carbon copy
of the one before,
though far from
being clinically depressed, this boar

ring guilt ridden Capitalist decries
     mass consumerist paradigm
satiating the *****
rub bull Lady Liberty, where more
disinclination arises, per
crossing upcoming birthdays corridor

January 13th finds
     increased repugnance being part
of materialistic culture club
as hellacious tore
char, implied societal behavior
expects blind submission

subjected to glore
re: us lee spouting
hallelujah nauseating your
every five senses to accept
point blank, Nee pay adore
ration, asper goyish gaiety bon jure

blared, foisted, and
     lobbed upon every
     man, woman, and child of society,
which imposition, this
outlier doth deplore
as an avowed antiestablishmentarian

to thee very core,
of my being, who
experiences continuous ab ****
rent theoretical strings
of disappointments pour
ring down (like confetti)

from on high, viz directly
linkedin as nonconformist eyesore
from cradle to... when,
     me cremated ashes get scattered,
     though right now... still technically
     alive, at least... I think so

     (despite not yet),
being gratefully dead...
nearing three score
years, yet upon
my demise wherefore
welcoming relief against

     (feeling like the oddball),
     shares his glumness
weighing me down, where
every step an arduous chore
his compunction being open to explore
living off the grid, or

alternatively joining thee dacor
oven intentional community,
cuz he seems severely mismatched,
     where vast material consumption,
     especially accentuated with
     holiday season heavily pitched

to spend every
last red cent, (and beg
borrow, max out on credit, or steal)
to splurge for
expectation to endure

the helter skelter frenetic
     Black Friday and Cyber Monday
fire sales kindling
     a bonanza galore!
