Scrapyard

Step one blame the user
Step two buy the competition

I guess I'll say this as clearly as possible
the people in power stay in power
because they think YOU are stupid
not just the average person, but YOU
I don't have time to get into the isms here

Tell the child to choose
between red and blue
donkey or elephant,
right or left
GOP, Republican, Liberal, Democrat

Issues framed
as pro-life or pro-choice
sides of an aisle, pick a team
either or, erasing nuance

Pretend zygotes have a right to life
then revoke rights from children after birth
and then drop weapons on the brown kids
under misquotes from the hypocritical
self-contracticting fictional story book

Healthcare is a human right, but
oh look they're blaming mothers again
once refrigerators caused autism
now he says to toughen up
don't take Tylenol, die of fever
reminds me of men who say
to hold in your period blood

i was chasing fireflies amongst
the dark poetries of your mind
running tighter rings around you
as you determined to unwind

Had this album. Introduced me to some cool bands. New Rose was a high point. 🙌

"Half the world are women. The other half are their children." (Efu Nyaki)
Toxic masculinity only has one strength: physical. It bullies, punches, insults, shouts, & belittles. It dominates without being more & orders without being wiser. The only way to live is together.

i’m good at imagining impact -
catastrophe, death, and the knife -
caught in an unending flinch
under the gentle caress of my life

death hunts without discrimination
i bleed my life into the past
and the saddest seconds are the longest
while the happy ones all scurry past
i inhabit the infinitesimal present
a prison of a million locks
and measure my time in the dying of cells
and the vicious tyranny of clocks

Was NOT happy with that last post.
(There may have been wine)
Think this version is better….

as surely as this poem will end,
you will die.
each word a moment taking
you closer.
i say this not to sadden you,
but to make a point:
if you focus solely on the end
you miss all the words.
