They Stopped Asking

Tristan Robert Lange

“Hey there, how is it with your soul?”
They used to ask— no longer care to know.
To process this shit it would take a bowl;
In the cloud of smoke I might lose where to go,
Which might as well be their whole goal,
Still better positioned to think and show,
That whoever THEY are, this is how I roll.

    In trickery and gluggery, we hear the sound, and ask 'How are you Popeye?' He replies. 'I yam'..... lol

    When they need you, you're tops.
    When they don't, you're history.
    They'll find us in records collecting dust.
