observing the chaos
from my ever-shrinking
safe space
that room of non living
it’s been this way all along
i should not be surprised

one can get lost
unthinking history
a cynical feedback loop
designed to limit
community
anything to be fair and balanced

when everyone is lying
nothing really matters

when did i agree to live in a society in which every moment of existence is overwhelmed by commercial tv advertising
on the bus
in my hand
at the gas pump

does that asshole in the monster truck ever think about the world outside his own ego

between you and me
i’m tired
re-tired and re-signed
all i can think to do now
is repeat
and regret

is this maturity
