DownfallA Poem by Matthew Bass
I. What we never see.
The macabre and surreal hummmmm dada tunes in white rooms, mired in structure and meaning. On the door way to the city, everyone has their own hustle. Inside the lull and function selfish games overlap. mindlessness What could have been has simply ceased. II. What we never percieve. Consumerism and rebellion make strange bedfellows. It's polite to encourage friendliness with generous tips. The not-so-average, become very average on the never ending ride to the bottom, armed with catch phrases and non sequiturs. Don't eat with your mouth open under the gaping hole of the obvious. It's not polite to smile at strangers on your lunch break. © 2011 Matthew Bass |
