ants analyzing their assholes


i was at a party

but all the men kept talking about

was beer, boobs and ballgames

and the fast and the furious movie chain

 

i left, bereft of nothing

 

american culture is a vulture

consummating with corpses

 

cream rises to the top

even if it’s curdled

out here on the streets

there are no hurdles

 

just a smooth sailing sidewalk

upon which i walk

while watching the illusion

of a sky with no stars

 

thinking how i would probably

have been arrested

if i had tried to smuggle books

into that party

 

laurel and hardy had

nothing on the comedy

of cosmic creases

 

where nothing increases

the wastefulness of what

we think makes us relevant

 

till all i can do

is fake the flu

so i don’t have to forage

on the floors of your forest

 

whenever anyone talks

all i ever hear is how

i would be better off

being like them

 

but all i see is a disconnected brain stem

broken by the barriers

built to barricade

any challenge to cohesiveness

that’s congealed into comfort

of carnal cravings

 

even claiming they are attaining

true spirituality

quoting chapter three

of a culinary chicken soup

 

thinking their truth

is worth a dollar at a kissing booth

come and sip the wealth of their lips

 

their existence alone

is what this world is worth

 

never giving birth

to the conception

that the ultimate deception

is the perception of their thoughts

 

because no one is ever taught

that neurons are necromancers

a tease and denial dancer

who will let you buy them drinks

so you will think

that with each shot you have a shot

at fulfilling your desire

 

truth does not make you a liar

if the flames of your fire

do not conspire

to raise you higher

then a heimlich designed to expel

the morsel upon which you are choking

 

***
