Everything’s happening just as it should
Everything’s happening just as it should
with hateful lucidity
& cringing coherence
& perpetual moments
of vile clarity
everything that falls apart
must face its own collapse
every being that brings destruction
must witness what it’s wrought
the sublime arousal
the culmination
of every booming vision
the gripping hand
the stacked odds
the dubious dyslexia
& maddening myopia
that needfully bends
to conservative pegs
We slough ourselves down
& slime ourselves open
knowing no better
’cause better is beyond
the frittered
& fruitless ken
of our decimated soil
All we are
is all we can possibly do
& doing is deaf & dumb
a dead-end death drive
up an endless slope
but still we flail
fellating the cock of fate
licking Sisyphus’ calloused sole
maybe a mosquito on Achilles’ balls
in final measure
a laughing stock
in our masters’ cannibal soup
