agreements
It’s 3pm and I’m all coffee
again
out of the Met mug
large demanding
sun beams protestingly through my rhythm
slick slack plap
Whatever i want
But you call
All suddenly
remind me of computer drunkards
Antelopes leaping in unison in digital tiles
I’m angry
For this 80 20 laughter
You 80 I 20
even as I type I jokelaugh
in internalized capitalism
never enough
the corps have slandered the Manifesto
While downstairs Nose sings another
Resurrection of Sinatra
And the marijuana licenses now are doing PR stunts
For american history
And all of america history is a PR stunt
my parents know
I hope whatever we call entertainment
life
purpose
comes with enough rationalization to the grave
my mirror is dumb and endless
the funhouse variety
everyone bought online two years ago
We talk at mirrors all day
If you go on pretending you’ll never fully
and if you never fully
you’ll repeat it
Two twenty year olds playing house
pushing a stroller
On Broome
Around tourists from Italy for a taste of the real thing
And the Garden
while Elizabeth screams from her empress trees
there’s no more space for daffodil
Over and over
And the nothingness
of the eye within
where it’s whispering magic
and matters of no contest
If reverence for wisdom is real
and the Universal prize says it’s not
will we drown
in skincare strangling
feminism
before it’s all found out
oh I’m burning the coffee
