What state isness do we inhabit now –

tired

bored

anxious

arsonist

narcissist Kardashian America

does a WE

even exist /

do the keepers of Plenty Good

tweak their social equations goldilocks just so

&

Have Not becomes what it must be –

wanderer in a strange land

wanting to believe

still

holding dear uncle Sammy’s illusions

tight to our crushed chest

checking in checking out

of your daily junkfood dollarstore culture

that cries itself to sleep at night

like a black orphan child

squatting

in

the cold dead of lady night

knowing somehow

there must be more

there must be more
