This is a badly decorated crisis
It is time to migrate to the next condo
All poetry lines are created equal
So deliver your speech without background music

I finished my dream
Then with a skateboarder’s single mindedness
I went to the market
Some porn is taken for granted
Hopefully you can see
This poems is struggling hard
To be on someone’s top ten list

You always said: capitalism made me do it
But whatever you wear on casual Fridays is up to you
It is sometimes irrational to be irrational
Or so said the cockroaches of hope
For a dollar you can have a glimpse at the dalai lama’s soul
I know I need this poem to make it to the playoffs alive

While thinking about your lips
He was also thinking about the pick-up algorithm
Later he told me “I am not rigorous enough”
He also said “I got my friends the books
They needed, yet nothing changed”

Poverty is not well hidden
We are on different biological clocks
Except that I am not falling in love tonight

The imagination always kicks reality’s ass
So let us step out for a cigarette or two
In our way let us visit the media lab
And learn about the organization of dreams
We are surrounded by different kinds of on-sale items
That we need to ask for their forgiveness
Then leave to the craft store to flirt with the experts

I am managing my vulnerability at the shawarma shop
Some people need to die for civilization’s sake
Let me tell you about my exotic country then
Let me also tell you about the danger of not having a poetic project
Your dress invokes my longing for reality
I have a standard response for good looks
And I have the feeling that I will be punished for it
And that I will head back home to jerk off under pressure
The hit man is hungry
And he needs encouraging text messages on his phone
Let us hear hamlet moan because of his sore nipples
I have to stay here and ask for a better menu
There are people in the pub slowly eating their way into life
Here is the black middleclass, can we forgive them?
Take a number my dear friend
These are the leaders of the industry
They go to the Skywalker ranch to discuss stuff
And these are the masses, they buy the stuff the leaders create
Now, I will teach you the best cock block move I know of
Time to save civilization
One iPhone user at a time
Historical materialists of Cairo unite
And let us partake in the power of the masses
I saw the great minds of my generation working for Microsoft and Boeing to be laid off
later like dogs and I saw America my home sweet home watch them die or drown
I am a descendant of those who drank themselves to death
And I am glad to report: so many red Cadillacs are at the lodge

Being classically trained and stuff
I left this small time success story behind:
Poetry isn’t about music or ideas or things
And please leave my frequent flier miles out of this
I made paper before and it hurts
Home sick, and scared: the text is shooting at our desires
(this is an approximation of course)
I was at the Marx-in-the-park festival
They made sure we know that there is no such thing
as perfectly parallel streets
So, armed with knowledge about nutrition
We need to integrate our business strategy
And God’s will
Please notice that people who are assertive travel a lot
