nothing to write home about

the eye popping vascularity of this planet so

slide a needle into its plaque forest glue

 

in its hot little kitchen grab a bite about

what the hell you're locked into

 

weaponised plankton so heavy

between rails you can't move them

 

though the underlife and declining

is sucking

 

your fingers through ailerons jamming the

page you can't turn to

 

interrupting the president sworn in when you

didn't watch TV in his diner

 

the nails in your hands remind you this

mythical beast under your mythical burden is dying

 

you're so cool on the inside while on the

outside your children are burning
