Loud-ass Americans on the train

masks littering the ground

train station platforms, convenience stores clogged with lobotomized phone-gazers

faceless masked faggots for the new disease

(my soul yearns for faces)

whatever it may be

flaming addicts for the newest fear

hashtag “metoo,” BLM, and Trump demonstrators stand around and march around like confused children

Borrowing scandalized offense from overseas

Jesus christ. Where can I go now?

And the litter all over the riverside ain’t mainly 

from foreigners. 

Welcome to the “enshittification”

happens as economies fail

and psychopaths restrict free trade

atomize/force integrate/force disintegrate people

kill freely grown cultures

happens under supremacist ideology

adopted by the masses it destroys

I won’t name it

But I reckon you can guess

service degrades

resentment builds

poor people fight one another while the puppeteer

parasites 

collect the gold

    New Normal became the norm

    But it’s never too late to resist

    Maybe it has always been this way

    Our eyes and minds notice more as we gracefully age

    Yet jaundiced with all that engulfs us

    Regret punches hard, downwards through my stomach

    of what could have been

    but still could

    if we try

      This is beautiful, man. Yes. I’d say there’s always a shaft of light somewhere in situations like these. A pinhole we can tear wider open.
