  Set. $3T. set.

  I relish an untitled retrieval. Spooky time-lapse  Conscripts constant deja–vu.  * I lose my keys.  (meaning) Forgetmeknots  Granting advertisements  Unto conscious exposure.  ** Outside the experience  A rainbow mounts contours  Along the edges of an oil slick.  A mere dot among litter  Making out  Forget–me–not  In Target’s parking lot. ***  Inside the store A  Starbucks…

  (insert recycled sitcom trope here)

  Cardboard boxes, stacked before the dumpster,  Simplified access  To raccoons, who ate like royalty, gorging on trash.  Cardboard crumples when wet and rainfall  Exchanged convenience for knowledge.  Egg yolk  Bespeckled with blood spots, Stayed the predator’s hand And examined the concept  Of what could’ve been.

  Gestures to Shout, Laugh and Sneeze

  Handwritten body-language parcels lip locked vowels at the expense of jabber jaw phonics.  Tone deaf linguists decipher the intentions of mouth to foot vocabulary (this is what the hosts of infomercials dream of! a product that’ll fly off the eyes) Who holds council in consciousness? And using gestures inherited  From everyday conversation (ex. Moira loathes…

  Boxed-in-Being

  Warehouses stockpile sentience and colonize government sponsored land, as stayed discussions on methods of survival illicit standardized conformity compared to a slouch, missing teeth, conversations with the wall and bursts of frustration accumulating in violent acts, adding to the calamity of housed consciousness in competition for bread.  Stale glucose crumbs litter the ground and espouse…

  Rerun Voting Cycle

  Old Days… Pundits coordinated their free-time to scheduled programming and delegated topics for conversation based on what they watched that day. On Tuesday mornings they removed ties and stockings while Big Bird flapped his beak, when Elmo appeared on screen conservatives pointed to the puppet and declared: “I TOLD YOU RED WAS THE COLOR OF…
