CATS RIDING DONKEYS TOO

the worlds ok really
just look at the internet

i can see the species unravel

in narcissism & violence

or zoom with a therapist 

& see cats riding donkeys too

i have scrolled for miles

& theres no end in sight

potted life on tap

in the soft lap of plenty

THE CREATIVITY SCANDAL

 

'i'll tell you this...

no eternal reward

will forgive us now

for wasting the dawn'

                jim morrison

you know what you want to do
what you got to do

you done it in your head
& you like it

anticipation is sweet

& you know you can do it
& that is a powerful buzz

~

but powerful too
is the no
& the eurgh
& the why
& the Invisible Wall
between you & the it

& when you get thru that
& youre doing it
& youre in the saddle
& its going well
& it seems easy

then suddenly it must be trivial & trite

~

& its so easy to stop
when you done some

you know you can do it
so you can leave it

& can do it when ever you want
no problem
so why do it now ?

~

so you back burner it
& loose yourself
in the hidden cost
of the doom scroll
wasting the dawn
& your eternal reward

until it all creeps up again
& you get back to step one again
& you loop like that

all unsure & halfway stuck
gasping & farting
it out
between
awful shits
&
bad naps

AN UNSURE POP

the horrors -

the bombs
the charity children
the dangerous drinking water

the charity children 
getting drone bombed
IN 
their 
dangerous drinking water

you
can
scroll
past them now

with one hasty-lazy thumb

fossil fuels
powering 
your
looking glass

rivers throttled
&
elephants down

do you want to follow the money ?

or dance 
in
complicit 
aversion

wallowing
gluttoned

with me


~


when 
back in the day
itd
have
been
rumour & gossip

did you hear what the stranger said ?!

& 
eventual 
horror story 
oil lamp legend

or likely

proof of satan
&
means of control


~


in other news
i found my college yearbook

&
i
put
it
straight away again

spine in

even my history 
too raw
