Is It Too Much Too Ask?
A Poem by Matthew Bass
Is it to much to ask for something more than dopamine and ((pulsating)) cromatics beating and shaking against the walls counting time until your middle-aged 2 A.M. destiny... that never seems quite as good as it could be, and you´re left singing karaoke to a wall once your best years have passed you by while everyone else gets drunk fantasizing about the fear of yielding to other´s desires and you´re a*s. Is it too much to ask for a little true love? Romance isn´t dead, but your bleached hair and fake tan are; standing helpless in the cross-rhythm of your insecure shoulders, just so you can complain about something else. A rook in the relentless assault to commodify one of the last few things not ripped from our chests without anstesia just yet. I will not forget how to dance on thin membranes of air lifted by the scent of chivalry because not all is sucked out by: text speak and faux-paux dispositions stuck to listas and empty stares batting themselves to death looking for open doors to E-Classes and X5´s with drinks full of secret ingredients. Is it too much to ask for something beautiful that goes a little deeper than damaged flesh hung out to dry on glossy meat hooks? To care about something more tangible you obviously could never care enough to try an understand?
