Throwing Partial Shade at All Tier Levels

My hope was to write a poem
A multitasking poem that 
Collapses the government
You are reading under 
And at the same time
Strengthens the overall job market.

What follows is not what I intended
Rather the strategic application 
Of what I made of what I intended
I intended to reduce pain at the pump
But it’s been a hell of a holy week
In the games and entertainment universe.

War grabbed our attention
(By the pussy)
How many seconds left
On the nuclear c(l)ock
All out of time outs is
The number of time outs remaining.

Rabbit Hole Ave.

Rude times, rape clubs, fight clubs
Tips on fashion and travel
The dog’s name was something from Harry Potter
I don’t like dogs or Harry Potter so I don’t remember
But I love your overalls, they’re very cute.

Next day dawned pickled red onion 
I touched the screen
I was greeted with 
Fresh strawberries
Fresh scones.

Thank you for joining us live
The hourly ennui
Feng shui
Déjà vu
Karma.

A flight of new posts
Studio quality commercial-ready
Extra soft Ultra fresh
Make your body tremble 
Make your legs sing.

It was baptism
A deep dive dumpster-style
Into the root directory
Of the mother oak
And beyond.

Footage

Walking over here I thought
The poor I’m one of 
Can’t afford a car
Too lazy to get a job to buy one
Or some other problem.

Nothing’s more degrading 
Than being an American pedestrian
I’ll send a screen shot
This is no country for those on foot
You need a car.

The bus stinks worse than a reptile shop
They never blink but
They’ll turn right around
And say it’s not good to need
Brings on anxiety.

So does cat food and rat droppings 
All over the fucking carpet
Like a bad dye job on a cheap hair piece 
My insurance only covers watchful waiting
And did I tell you what my AI companion said?

From Beloved Icon to Monster Groomer

There was a hair on my
¡Sí se puede! merch
That I bought at the gift store
In Keene
Mighta been a pussy hair.

My Lamb is Tough

Navigating the granular
Projects concurrently in development 
And those not in the conceptual phase
Millions stand to be made from these verses.
As spring loaded words 
It’s global engagement
And using footage to pointed effect
Like collaborating on a shoe
I have the orders here.

Sometimes they get out of hand 
After all
Cultural behemoths
Payment services titans
Prediction giants
AI Colossi
Will be teams of 
Dogs eating dogs
Doggy style.

Dog eat dog
Using noise cancelling noise
To cancel the screams
Sectarian violence at trade shows 
Suicide bombings at petting zoos
Ethnic cleansings aboard ship
Even the shadow of the hawk is paywalled
Synth microgenres, vapid chat rooms
Volleyball amidst rubble.

Then I kind of stand back
And I kind of
I have to like 
I have to turn away
Yeah I mean its
Terrible news
Obviously
Where’s the server
My lamb is tough.

Baby Chita's Secrets

She was her own spin off (like me)
Too big to get near
Heedless of the tenacious backup beeping 
The rules for converting to Roth
No guardrails
No lifeguard on duty 
Even after life has been whistled dead
Or vice versa
U do the math
Or pay a brother to do it for you.

In the middle of a hella brand event
Asperity free, resounding
Game is abundant
Laughter is everything
Start ups and laughter
Backed by a wallet of intimate moments
And role-playing games of irrefragable mythology.
For added applause, levity and euphoria
“The right rug refreshes the entire room” 
Or so says the deputy awards strategist (interim).
