Saturated
in meaninglessness the sun paints
dappled oak leaves on human shit
embedded in earth like mud
the intersection of seeds and shells scattered
With admixtures of CMYK, BPA,
latex deformed, crushed, underfoot
organisms defy in multitudes the
pogrom of apathy, the
elegy of fools tightening
blindfolds to strangle
children

This contempt fits
like shrunken gloves
cutting and cutting and cutting
until red in the hands
This resentment nurtures
like leaden water
thinning and thinning and thinning
until black in the brain
This fear educates
like concentration camps
burning and burning and burning
until white as ash
This remorse sings
like injured mother birds
wailing and wailing and wailing

Don’t look at me
I can’t stand my reflection
in you
Valuing nothing
I devalue
And blame and conflate
strength and cowardice
What a sick joke
that I can’t jettison myself
and love you

will it all
go wrong
from now on
I refuse myself
tranquility
has it been
long enough to stop
endless fidgeting
like sitting on snakes
persistent gnashing
crushing enamel
just to talk small
it feels too much
an incessant soliloquy
“Something is defective, something is wrong”
on autopilot
traversing a nameless
concrete plateau
I haven’t found the horizon line
I haven’t found an end
I haven’t seen a brilliant sun
I haven’t a notion of when it will come

The fragile race
of dead weight
authentically American
liaisons of separation
of church and state
sponsored theft
bulging vests
of patriotic farce
miserably vaudevillian
agents of cowardice
of the other cowering
from tear gas
