Poems
Sep 2019
fork scratching fine china
Out all day till the brink of night
Drowning myself in McDonald's sprite
Searching for a pixie to set me straight
Suffocating under this social weight
Credit turns to debt
Happiness to regret
All of those years sitting idly by
Was just me trying to find a life
Now I sit behind square one
Able to have it all redone
One dream at a time with a chaser
Let it steam slow like a bomb paella
Money money money and no humor
Society's secret malignant tumor
Focus on the fixing
and don't worry about missing
We'll find it all soon
If your world outgrows the room
Oceans are dead and the whales want blood
Sacrifice the thicc rich and they'll send you love
Marla, '99-'19, Born to die an exploited worker bee in corporate America;
use their remains as compost and get back to work!
