sometimes we yearn for The Feed innately

although we question it's motives

    know that expressing emotions is the best course

instead we turn to The Feed

we dream of trains

we don't need much 

caped superheroes, 20 minute recipes, AI recitations

we remember with sentimentality 

the pendulum of redemption

not noticing the way the world smells different after

your first paycheck, lost your virginity, Covid

we churn in The Feed

like a boats trawling the dark 

raspy breath of chaos

heaven's withered garden

you will never again be the person you are today

but have you yet clicked to see my hot take on Senate Dems?

what has The Feed given us?

noise, the illusion of unity, distraction, cookies

and what has The Feed taken?

revenue, attention, mystery

ah, the atonal frequencies of time

from naked passion to the nakedness of revulsion, 

Loading... Loading... Loading...

this comes at the cost of connection

    lost connection? we have profound presence 

as illustrated by

the domestic quarrel with a pair of weaponized shears

what sacrifice at altars of style

is worth the sweet orgasmic oblivion of life

why did we stream that interview about 

woman's loss of autonomy & capacity for ecstacy after childbirth? 

mob violence in Nicaragua?  

racial bias in preschoolers?

perhaps the answers swirl in The Feed

we strike back against death, launch the app, press search
