Blahs

​

the book of many faces

written by one and a million

and every single one in the million

is one in a milliion

pulverized and tenderized

genderized and degenderized

​

how freeing these little packets

of abuse that suffuse

what liberation is offered

in anonymous violence

catchphrases and buzz words

politicized and depoliticized

​

the pleasures of faking reality

vilifying objectivity

and rebranding truth

the basics in trying to socialize

in the biggest game of desocialization

while we categorize and  decategorize

​

conditioning synapses

in mining dopa

with expected hits of surprise responses

a jumbling of complexities and associations

generations of brilliance

lost to illusory replies

​

the world starts to spin on its horizontal axis

undetected

in the opposite direction

more awry with every revolution

some get off while others get on

some get thrown off while others hang on

​

watching sad dramas unfold

I walk the thin line of ostracization

joining the sound of one hand clapping

how does one convince a child

to leave their favourite toy

without telling more lies?
