Dystopia: The Rescission(s)

We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. - Carl Sagan -

 

I.T. marrrs a human to instigate. And a maze it's soul

that justifies its wrecklessness, these madnesses, betrayal

There's a certain grandeur to it:

The immense, immersive experience that is cinema.

Election Campaign

We went to a ball, but they said we could not dance.

We joined a choir, but they said we could not sing.

We ordered a beer, but they said we could not drink.

We shared an embrace, but they said we could not love.

We went to the bathroom, but they said we could not wash.

We sat in a restaurant, but they said we could not eat.

We took out our pens, but they said we could not write.

Background anxiety in the air

Something wrong with the planet

The critters crawling in their teeth

Hiding behind sheep

hiding behind sheep.

Wide Is The Gate And Broad Is The Road

Wide Is The Gate And Broad Is The Road

A sky bleached like old bones

The pale sun spits on car roofs in a Northern town
where colours hide behind a sheen of grey.

Tram tracks, like silver trails of slugs,
pacing the slowly walking midnight man.

Something ancient and horrid has left a double-mustard
trail of crumbs for him to follow, but nev...
