Tristan Robert Lange

the cutting room floor

in this promethean world,
where even in the movies
the happiest endings
are the sappiest trendings—
where wicked labels cast
become the actor’s couch,
where one’s always their past
upon the cutting room floor,
gored out by a soaring pecker—
what is truly good anyway?
