girl in reading engine

progressed in pink possibilities these
prelapsarian indulgences
are muck words raked mechanically

and vicious they wait behind the paywall
we built in your time aside from life
the time you growled about but could not see

when the vaccine climate hoax extractor
micro-tracked your head and
ovaries was just a fat new word

subsumed in the mystic mush that’s
smeared on the other hide of life
let’s shower you down or better still

take what you think seriously
and seriously do better whether or not
a rainbow charge is change enough

whether or not it’s close sightedness
or the grip of life on paper that draws
you closer to its page
