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).
