another year notched
& reckoned & still
the world is broken
in too many ways for
spotify to entabulate
but at least we heard
some bangers while
scrolling reddit for clips
of riots, wars, floods,
& famines from afar

look you
got to
get out
of the
way of
progress
or else
you just
are gonna
be shaking
fists at
molehills
& you
don’t want
to piss
off the
moles now
do you
because those
starry-nosed
sumbitches
will chew
your ass
right up

there’s not much
you can do
to appease
the gods
except maybe
a good blood
sacrifice or two
so be sure to
stub your toe
really good
every week
or trip over
your own feet
& fall flat on
your ass or face
& that will keep
them at bay
until you step
on a Lego
in the dark
at 3 a.m.
& then
you’ll be good
for at least
six months

if you want
to save the world
don’t start with
yellow jackets
because those
motherfuckers
need to die

I’ve taken stock
& now no one
can make soup

my tumblr
is a waste-
land of
unposts so
go ahead
& unfollow
it because
the goal
is to dis-
appear into
electrons
until pixels
double over
with the weight
of nothing &
collapse under
the theory of
mansplained
whitespace

all it takes is a bottle
of bourbon & every drunk
is a damned good poet
at least until the bottle
is dry & the tab is due
& then we’re just a bunch
of fucking hungover whiners
so if you want inspiration
go read a hallmark card
because writing that shit
sober is actual work
