LOOK BETTER IN THE APP

& i wonder

this thunder morning
when lightning strikes
our old stoner haunt

& the rain comes down

like its behind schedule

if i would

look better in the app

like
everything
else
claims
to

on the sci fi ballast
we clutch like pearls 

in our meat-crane hands

A CATCH 22

well i put my boots on

& 

i walked on down the hall

& 

i addressed the naysayers there

   

'it would be easier'

 i said

'to get better 

 you know

 

 if i already wasnt so ill'

LONG GONE COMMUTE DREAM

when i would
ride in the 
morning bus
i would look
out at the
sad grey scrub 
& brown brush

& i thought -
thats better 
than in here

& i thought -
those exhaust 
thin grey trees
out there now
stood in the 
no mans land 
arterial 
roadway verge
are better
than in here

better than
this misted 
early dog 
wet morning 
bus ride hole

& i would 
imagine
me climbing
thru the scrub 
& brown brush

& i would 
imagine
standing in 
the trenches
of all the 
forgotten 
& fallow 
farmers fields

looking up
at the brick 
wild bean cafe
bp stop
add-on pod

& i thought -
its better
in there now 

carb-loading
& looking 
out here at
the farmers 
forgotten 
fallow fields

but then tho
in there i
would then think -

its better 
out there in
scrub & ruts 
of farmers 
forgotten 
fallow fields

than in this
poor excuse

& also
in there i
would then think -

its better 
everywhere

now
i
eaten
