I Got the Go-Ahead

So I went ahead and I

Grabbed

Slammed

Scrambled

Swished

Scraped

Passed

Spawned

Found

Visted

Connected

Read

Searched

Contacted

Discovered

Cleansed

Assessed

Consulted

Tracked

Adjusted

Joined

Rejuvenated

Revitalized.

Late stage capitalism

Had me feeling positively

Riding down the constellation transfer trail 

Yet passively Jurassic

I designed 

I surfed

I bought and sold

I resident managed

I sharpshot

I surveyed

I savored responsibly

I haberdashed and door dashed

I registered, planned, subscribed, attended

I filed an amended petition

I glam rocked

I pet groomed

I concrete cut

I party supplied

I money treed

I can collected

I skydove

I tamale vended

I fished from shore 

I acted

I farmed

I supported

I reported

I resorted

I chatted

I messaged

I specialized

I wondered

I danced

I glanced.

And dennon toppa dat

Like safari fencing with razor wire tonsure  

I studied feasibility

I showed and shared

I carried a populated field

I enhanced the display

I racial profiled

I captive bred

I banned, I barred, I blocked

I turned and I looked

I squinted

I peered

I dropped

I shot

I found

I downloaded 

I purchased

I chill-pilled

I dried before crushing

I managed anger

I wrecked taboos

I scurried

I flurried

I liberated

I masturbated

I juggled

I posted up

I transferred out

I crossed over

I catered to

I flew in

I spent time

I filtered

I slathered

I roasted

I pressed

I tagged

I swiped, I sifted, I competed.

And like all Americans my age

It got to where 

I felt, I believed, I thought 

I charted an etiology of biogenetic cake

I gave up dreaming at night

I accepted notions

Kept text only

Served and redeemed

Trucked

Fucked

Ducked

Duckwalked

Jetskied 

Mumbled

Crouched

Stood

Flipped

Pawed

Pulled

Plugged

Mugged

Dug

In that order.

My only thing though is

I didn’t have enough sense to leave wellness fairs alone

I accepted notions

I kept text only

I traced

I funded

I smoked

I waded, boated, fished

I even said to Julie

I said Julie I said

Girl I tried so very hard

I showed

I showered

I explained

I glowered

I bled

But I never took root

I reached out but I never heard back

Consumed a ton of culture

But there was no future in it.

I skipped

I leashed

I stopped

I swept

I redacted

I scrambled

Snaked

Raced

Squealed

Leaned

Walked

Sped

I was gonna do a honey latte

But I timed myself out instead.
