Elegy on modernity

Puncture the void with oddity

Bless your bored sighs with a cut and paste

Comprised of decades past

There is nothing more present than the debris of the past


Strike me

With juxtaposition

Because of course the foundation 

Is always shifting 

We are orbiting a star violently illuminating

Everything.

The rock rolled away long ago

But the dust, this genre, this vogue, this ornamental

The menu creeping past the meal 

This blinking babushka doll life

An ellipsis in lieu of an update 

I just want a good sandwich

I just want the time to make a good sandwich.

  1. Nothing makes my eyes roll more than thinking about lunch and how I never have time or supplies to hand to make a good sandwich.
