"advertisments" poems
I’ve moved countries.
I’ve moved, and it’s the little differences that remind me of this.
It’s not the massive skyscrapers and old town squares,
the gray skies and cold weather
(oh so different from the heat of skin on skin I’m used to)
It’s not the fast paced life and sounds of a foreign tongue surrounding me
It’s the little things,
like the subtle quietness of my apartment,
and the clack of heels on the floor above me,
the waterfall of TV advertisments,
It’s the sense of loneliness
and the nostalgia of your touch
It’s how I forgot the colour of your eyes,
and the shape of your nose,
your crooked smile and heartfelt laugh
I don’t miss my country,
I’m missing all the aspects of you that are still locked back there.

When Black friday shows, so will the sheep.
And although, they all know their wallets to reap,
they continue to buy
and shout why god oh why
am i broke and getting no sleep?

My brain splatters as I try to make sense of this. It doesnt last long and shuts down. The dwindling thumb
A snoring girl
One annunciating talk show host
Advertisments for genuine authentic Italian cuisine
News stories that have no endings
Perpetual cycles of hell
She is snoring after a long day of being sick
The pain stretches to my wrist
"You feed your mind
You feed your body
You feed your soul
The balance beings peace
The balance brings joy
The balance brings growth."
My imaginary Grandmother whispers to me.
Cued laughter from the audience
These shows are like used car sales
There's a poet I know who has to piddle that **** to the public.
I don't think she minds too much but I hope it doesn't **** her writing.
The dead speak to us louder when the order of our day is in disarray.
People at work are depressed, the moral of the story lost and we're drifting.
Then the shock and the horror
This time of the year is already hard on everyone trying to fulfill imaginary expectations of what other people want. This is modern expressions of love.
The wish to provide a material manifestation of warmth, desire, and embrace.
Maybe a hug will do.
And the actions of consistency and peace.

I listen to the mid-day news
wondering vaguely why
it sounds so familiar
more or less
like what I heard this morning
we know that repetition
is a major didactic principle
yet lately it seems to have become
the dominant discourse
not only in the news
but also in discussions, panels,
pop songs advertisments, etc.
as if
repeating things
over and over again
made them ‚more‘ true

why is it
that
we grow up
learning
what they want us to learn.
we are to conform.
why is it
that
we grow up
thinking
what they want us to think.
we are to not ask questions.
why is it
that
we grow up
knowing
what they want us to know.
we are to accept this.
without questioning
why we must learn this
why we must think this
why we must know this.
school.
religion.
work.
tv.
advertisments.
internet.
food.
consumer products.
we are all brainwashed
to do what they want us to do
to act how they want us to act
to say what they want us to say
to know what they want us to know
to think what they want us to think
to believe what they want us to believe
we need to learn how to be free
to believe what we want to believe
to think what we want to think
to know what we want to know
to say what we want to say
to act how we want to act
to do what we want to do
to be us.
be you.
