permanent

laying stiff, sweating

fan blades blowing, spinning

poster peels. dust piles. 

sun beams blade still. 

the light is lost, trapped in time 

photograph film 

i’d protect with my life 

laying stiff, sweating

living life is so boring 

watching every movie streaming

there’s fairies, freaks, fighters

trolls, tourists, tigers, 

nymphs, neighbors, nightmares, 

muses and music it’s all new 

and worthless. readers digest 

laying stiff, sweating

i can see myself seeing myself 

i regret myself regretting 

living in a clay pot 

ruining my life is always so tempting 

label licked. flower bloomed. 

the dark is lost, trapped in time too

photograph film 

the permanent generation

i’d write more honest poems

but i’m worried of bad engagement
