Free Food For Thought On Foot
A Poem by Matthew Bass
"Look at your feet when you walk" not up, cuss words unspoken "personal space a*****e", broken cement, jackhammer, hemorrhaging money smog, green smog, the spector of defeatist chattering mindlessly endless status symbols. To win, not lose to not be successful, unhappy, not enough time take a breath, not enough time, time is money Wide awake wet dreams with the dream w***e on the billboard alone licking her lips alone alone alone by ourselves in a crowd tripping over garbage and piss on the sidewalks beware, defecating on the street is a €500 fine and a state funded neutering, spent, exhausted, all the wealth in a glass bonfire half-full of oil. An ice breaker, a joke a funny anecdote to pass the intervals between the cherry and the filter and a dry martini ritual one after the other in a little black dress or fine Italian suit to end the day in the dark, a minute a flash, a bend in space time matter, a self-fulfilling hangover. |
