wtf
in the tedium of this life of mime you poise
between pose and counterpose, swap talk for talk,
ratchet micro messages with massive tropes
you yeast the years
and mash your metaphors accordingly
once we could have issued memoranda to the periphery
but now what springs to thumb are
emojified declaratives (I pay)
subducted conjunctions (we pay)
you blast your sound bites and
bulldoze your stinking corpse fest texts to muddy life
so take me on a tour
of your thought passages under the square your roof your grey
suburban home one pixel in the portrait of your life down there
