I spend a lot of time thinking about the future
and in the future i’ll speak of the past
it’s all that lasts…
i walk in fields of grass and cry thinking of the ash
it’ll all be soon after i leave, relatively at least
i get nervous, and anxious, outright paranoid
imagining ways the world could change for the worst
but that world couldn’t be as cursed as this earth
this rock that we bombed
this mother of mankind
it’s recognition, beyond
for its drained and dried
hung high by tipping it
off it’s axis, shipping gasses
into lunar colonies
godly we imagine ourselves
until there’s no second coming
i spend a lot time thinking about the future,
i sit and think that if it were coming sooner
i would be walking through lunar space
asking myself, isn’t this great?
i’d say “no! no it isn’t! what a waste.”
i would be walking to my space craft
asking myself, can i believe that?
i’d say “yes! yeah, it’s such a disgrace.”
they stuck it right in my face
but, it’s hard to hide bad taste…
i spend a lot of time thinking about the future,
i spend it in the present,
i’m a memory consumer
and while thinking a month ago,
i was walking through skid row and
i met a homeless man in a plastic bungalow
telling me about places not go
i said “why, why does no one know?”
he told me the mayor walked past him
and said fuck ‘em
ahh fuck ‘em
the mayor walked right past tent city
getting into a building that’s pretty
and tall and made out of glass
he gets in an office and thinks “kiss my ass!”
(hahaha!)
well fuck ‘em
i said fuck ‘em… fuck ‘em
oh my algorithm
it brings me things i enjoy
my algorithm
it’s been sent here to destroy
me and my creativity
i don’t know what i like
when i walk outside to see
cause my eyes are over stimulated
single handedly by
my algorithm
my algorithm

Brilliant!
poetic wrath, in the age
of digitalised, absurdity
