from Sick, Poor, and Stupid


A world not given to moments
Of lyric intensity
Among the discount day care centers
Prolific anarchists comfortably ensconced within academia
Or White Castles metamorphosing into KFCs
After long periods of weedy pupation
Encampments cyclically erected and destroyed
Graffiti layered over graffiti until every person and piece of art is illegible
Bright flowers that speak to you the moment before you vanish
Wait what
Your last words


from Sick, Poor, and Stupid


There’s the violence of capital
And then there’s the Presidents’ Day Sale
