Quiet Coup

Quiet Coup

A Poem by Count Humilus

A generation of low totem look books

Beauty subjective to it’s arch nemesis

Reading thundershowers

A windy room full of unfinished aspirations

A Smith & Westin 22’ covering my debts

A masquerade in an abandoned church

A generation of fake spectacles

Expensive dreams

Following imaginary friends

A cigarette we put out just to smoke a blunt

A bottle of water we killed someone for

A tattoo saying the words that I can’t

A generation of apathy

An era of delusion

Fashion is revolution…

The light reflects the glitter as I walk…

… But once you hit La Brea… The light fades and so do they.
