Abstracting Concrete

wandering through the infinite
(void)
welcome to aisle sixteen.
frozen veggies always last so long.
had peas in my freezer for six months
they didn't care, numb as they were.
protected in their blanket of cold.
(mortality on ice)
Great to be back!
I can see you've all missed me so much.
Applause! Applause!
Don't worry, I'll keep conveying my trinkets
and I'll maintain a feeble hope in your hearts
and I'll dazzle you with my shinny wares
and contented contestants.
(vacant ecstasy)
plowing through the rat race
but i never seem to make it to the first throng.
i have my laptop too, and my Italian leather briefcase.
and i can kill and pillage and salvage.
and i'm probably smarter than that guy next to me
even though he's wearing Armani.
and he stratagizes and manipulates more than i can
and his ruthlessness knows few bounds.
(humanity only hinders)
tumbling through the infinite.
pretty sure i've hit bottom.
(it's pretty hard)

Back.
