Computers write our poems:
:\\
a thousand faces in sand
some things never change
light and filled with shreds
cantaloupe
frozen peas
dinner dates
lips synched
//:
This is the post postmodern world
colors are blankets we wear
shoes are made of moving things (like megabytes)
transiting freedom our computers are our children or dogs and cats
some people find that cars are dying but most people agree they are fun
our grandparents are made of metal and we are made of plastic
our food is plastic too
instantaneous becoming has made it hard to grow
Oh and we love green, green is the post postmodern color
the post postmodern world shimmers in daytime when our crystals
froth up our electrolytes and we just plug our valves and keep truckin
coffee is not longer served, neither is tea, we sip octaves above batteries but
cylindrical nonetheless our lips shiver at the touch and glow
we go go go; it’s the post postmodern world we don’t have time to sleep
(we watch TV) and there is always time for a good tweet
if you don’t understand, click here
when we dream it’s about buying pants or meat or telecommunication
that’s right, the cell phone is still a thing, prone to blinking our eyes
we can’t wait for the next Ipad, when it rains you can hold out your hand
because now the rain is green (it’s really a lot better that way)
This I like.. I like this
ReplyDeletethanks-a-mint!
ReplyDeletereading this poem makes me feel averse to being listed as a 'cog' on the blog page...
ReplyDeletehahahahaha we are all cogs in this machine
ReplyDeleteeven the machine that we are cogs in is itself a cog in a larger machine, ad infinitum
