Ant Farmers

pirouetting endlessly

on a single grain of rock and metal

water, gas and emotion

around a great ball of fire and violence

extreme terror,

within various levels of illuminated style. . .

grouped together; 

collected fashionably. 

   dumb retarded

bright and clever

rich and famous

   

   we are precious

you and I.

them and they

              all of this

how we will live and die

endlessly for our time

like a series of pet hamsters

kept by a 'stupid people' 

or imagined dinosaurs 

pretending to be

stupid characters 

idiot foils

satires 

and/or practical jokes

on a tv show

across all kinds of time passed over

lied-imagined-marketed 

remembered incorrectly 

 

you and I

here and now

build the future

ruin the past

as the great living mistake

                what is under no obligation to make sense. . .

(time and kids)

     that s**t gets weird. . .

to know a family

(from the outside)

                                what the f**k do I know?

.. . i'm just bored.

   with the lights on .. .

(watching porn)
