The Talk

Average aesthetics impressed upon

the dreamers asleep with the television on.

They are selling validation,

the slippery crutch of the only comfort craved.

Forget the details,

we are ****** clockwork,

counted on to come,

but never arrive,

where saying no to yes

likens to tallying time

until what you are chewing

wants to be swallowed.

Pearly white definition grinding moments into pulp

for the insatiable,

that never goes hungry.

This is all of it.

****** *** and the rest.

The patriarch in his Sunday best.

The wild generation,

rejecting the paranoia of their parents.

The whole of the god **** world

who copes with a regurgitated existence by selling narcissism.

Ours is a secret we are trying to tell with our lives,

when it’s realized it dies,

causing mystics to spill their insides

over silence, the answer that can never be vocalized.

Lo emotion,

the romance of confusion!

The one thing that can have no institution,

in our modern illusion.

I was watching "The Talk" in the doctor's waiting room. My repulsion followed as such.
