2020 loves you

if i could, i would,
but i can't, so i imagine
i can, just not for myself.

base truths delayed
a required process:
educational challenges.

murder and mayhem,
scene after scene,
act after act.

blood and fear
stir in needle necks,
desperate to walk out of this movie.

police riot
filled with love
weeping tears on lovers' faces.

turn the porno off
dream, instead, of fire
murder and mayhem

coughing alone in new jersey hospitals
dying alone in paupers' fields
this machine always wanted to kill fascists

fall in love, discordant
kill your heart to save the Dignity;
rest easy believing in something greater

forward, always forward
never resting, always moving:
the finest survival.

never rest, murder and mayhem
day after day,
equality is opportunity

quantity was only bravado
covering Oedipus insecurities;
lies are transactionaly valid.

burn the offices, loot the parlors
drip innuendo from lion's teeth
under cloud-soft moonbeams

we were only kissing,
when the fighting started
we were forced to choose a weapon

stale beer, day later
the wounds appear
bruised yellow green thoughts

broken fingers, driven
determined to hold
Oblivion 'till death do us part.
