The 90s
I awake to this apocalypse too
And Black Earth like the earth
Was dying into the 90s
Where I was born
So the dead awaken
I am this grave of empathy
Left over from wanting to live
So dying becomes a property of life again
*
Put the munis back in community
Wanting it is a sign of our alienation
Hurt today that I appeared (hurt)
These personal apocalypses and these collective apocalypses
Render an affect of high school
This inner light and that outer light
Of the 90s in high school
The sky went dark
The world went dark
And only then was there hope
In my 90s where cafe culture reached its peak
The 90s begins and ends inside the mouth
Indie rock begins in your mouth
*
It is a poem of friendship
I am dreaming the 90s before
I could remember anything
There were spaces we shared
The bodies we were eventually
To share not invented yet
There were certain reminders
We were still human forms
That we were not undead
Which sex do you identify with
When you see a vampire?
And Black Earth like the earth
Was dying into the 90s
Where I was born
So the dead awaken
I am this grave of empathy
Left over from wanting to live
So dying becomes a property of life again
*
Put the munis back in community
Wanting it is a sign of our alienation
Hurt today that I appeared (hurt)
These personal apocalypses and these collective apocalypses
Render an affect of high school
This inner light and that outer light
Of the 90s in high school
The sky went dark
The world went dark
And only then was there hope
In my 90s where cafe culture reached its peak
The 90s begins and ends inside the mouth
Indie rock begins in your mouth
*
It is a poem of friendship
I am dreaming the 90s before
I could remember anything
There were spaces we shared
The bodies we were eventually
To share not invented yet
There were certain reminders
We were still human forms
That we were not undead
Which sex do you identify with
When you see a vampire?
Sonnet 64
When I have seen the upper
Echelons of America
The rich proud cost unlikely
to respond
When sometime lofty
towers
The recent war
with
And brass of what Benjamin when
I have seen the reflection
Is an
undertaking and the firm
Soil almost heroically
cleaved
And the Internet
of debris
Ruin hath
taught me so interestingly
Circulating with telling intensity to
win
The major
companies
Their deeper allegorical
significance.
