#58 Blistering Feedback

 

I just read some blistering feedback
Prophesying the future is secondary entertainment
documentaries now instead of football
Of course his family will stand by him
The ads are for gun holsters and epoch times
What is Police slang for arsonist?
You will have to excuse my random approach
Clicks and likes have fed this Algorithm
And now I'll probably be banned
No one of consequence reads my tweets anyway
But that's okay
My favorite show is close to being unwatchable

#57 Ethical Boundaries

A singular agent of chaos: unusually male
Reading difficulties that are real
The antihero embodies some blunt truths about humanity
a user who may not be able to afford his data services
surprisingly charismatic, emotionally inaccessible
We encourage people to report fraud
It sometimes bubbles up to the surface
falsely accusing the victims as a strategy
all-too-willing to cross ethical boundaries
He used the application for several minutes
intending to abduct children
He created his own convenient code of ethics
reading up on how to make an explosive device
he holds up a mirror to our frailties
The message reportedly contained a malicious file
that made us feel superior for being less vile

#56 Four to Six


A jovial, friendly, earnest demeanor
Is it even a condition at all?
Having a great majority
was never going to be possible
Something obviously didn’t fit
the treatment was the same
Among them were the twenty-somethings
That is when the penny dropped
They were showing no enthusiasm
He had made it his mission
either looking at the ground
For what was plain for all to see
or glowering, holding out their phones
a child is struggling to read
with outstretched arms to watch videos
that are effectively meaningless
Seeing as many faces as possible in the crowd
we should be trying to help the children
They generally covered their faces with cloth masks
receiving hate mail fairly regularly
They walked, often hands in pockets
the word bully comes to mind
in clusters of perhaps four to six
No two definitions agreed
with at least one of them frequently looking back
they has absolutely no backing academically
These outliers looked like trouble

#56 A Pathway

we are constantally predicting the future
she reaches for your cup of coffee
he developed severe delusions
you can successfully pick up the cup
she is a practicing psychoanalyst
the visual processes that we require
how can I love another as myself?
a pathway that is responsible
the two are close personal friends
she fails to recognize many objects
it would last most of her life
I rarely misjudge where to reach
she began a project of revaluating love
he is perfectly capable of picking up a letter
it was difficult to achieve this
that is why are we so easily tricked
when experiencing the Impossible

# 55 Open Book


Things tend to linger
rather than disappear
but it's not an enigma,
it’s an open book
It has the same
effect on the brain
as balloons and artificial owls
I imagined a playground
and being pushed around
it’s time I told you
about the family business

we produced much with nothing
built huge earthworks
then partied for years at a time
we did nothing in moderation
didn’t have to be careful
with our mechanical minds
exposing them to people
So we could share the feeling
then put it all in a film

# 54 Victorian Nature

In a shaded forest
It was the end of the first fifth
tight with the greenest greens
we approached the river
and walked along the edge
she suddenly pushed away
peering through hidden leaves
my own face looking back at me
Laden with our Victorian nature
we had just kissed
Scaring birds with our human voices
you are safe with me
Chloroformed moths inside a box
Thousands of glass slides
cataloging each emotion
something stirred inside me
Pinning a beetle to a bark
pushed away by my love

# 53 Emotional Shopping

Stop pulling your tabs
opening countless windows
Individuals and habits
finishing our lunch
finishing your life
The reinforcement loop
changing the patterns
saying ummm and ahhh
from person to person
rewriting the code
behavior to behavior
forgetting to shave
the way it activates
a framework for understanding
the psychological relief
yields easily to analysis
speaking with your mouth full
more complex and obstinate
emotional shopping
change is a process
pair it with electric shock
that never fully concludes
