Bombarded with lights, flashes.
Always in my face.
Eyelids pulled back.

Urges to make purchases.

Collecting my words.
Preying on what’s heard.
Leeching on my mental state.
Can’t escape this fate.

Click. Click. Click.

An item I never needed.
A gift I never wanted.

Colossal debt.
Heart palpitations.
Blood money.

The wind whispered to the trees
Who sent messages in fallen leaves

The bluebell rang out the alarm
And the rabbits burrowed out of harm

The birds carried the message on a wing
Then the forest fell asleep until the spring

Deforestation for industrialization,
Is more like self-annihilation.
Soon we'll be on artificial respiration.


Procrastination for solutions on pollution,
Gonna cost upcoming generation.
Life cycle will break as animals add up in the list of extinction.
Soon every living being on this planet will be graven;
Due to starvation...

we loop together
like ivy over broken down cars
full circle once again
we fall out
miss each other and
we sync back into
infatuation
it’s lovely
vain and
impermanent
like the planet
and us within it

man’s garden
of garbage
valueless lottery tickets and
soiled coffee cups
watered with soda and fragments of
Modelo bottle glass shards
we prop up our feet on lawn chairs
and watch it grow
