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
