The Space Between Solids

Julian of Everywhere, bracketologist and
Seasoned captivating electronic presence
They kind of like pivoted to streaming
Fell hard for the rich creamy formula
Anything for the clip
And slipped into the abyss of
Smug self-assurance meets crazy bag of
US No.1 grown-in-Idaho potato chips
Lost their shit
Faced heavy cancellation fees
100% derailed. 

Pivoted to screaming
Same endzone, different field
Bundled aggro-cultural babble with
High risk metonymy
A whole new echo system
Maratón en Chihuahua
Parachutes in Shinjuku
But the exit strategy didn’t work
Went right to free falling like it was voice mail
Sheltering in place on the way down
And then come to find out they weren’t covered.

  1. Maybe reading in the early evening, after a lunch with several new introductions that lead to some serious talk of politics, and descriptions of personal achievements, and travelogs to remote villages, where people forgot the pass atrocities when Obama visited, bowed and apologized...the above poem doesn't chick yet. Will try in the morning.
