"Neon Repentance"
I galloped away from the needle
that salivated for every eye.
Outrage culture is a mass addiction
that gnaws on the anxious pacifier
that culture has become.
I cannot help the world
if we both choose to savor the gun
as if it were acquiscent sugar
instead of indifferent steel
so I built a fence
between myself
and the park
where we would play
with logos,
wars,
and zombies.
I would rather douse my forehead
in the neon ashes
of what we could be
without the burden
of the funhouse mirrors
with which we have replaced our emotions.
