systemic failure is an abstract
moving away from the individuals
who are hung in the action
and do not hold their hands up
but surrender to easy lies
the country flags under weekend flags
ticking between red and blue eras
of action and pause, where the hot and cold soul
evaporates in a dither state
the broken glass does not remember
only the cuts remember
and time settles in like forget over that
thin untrustworthy blankets
we codify our extinction in the wild semafore
of broken bodies dancing in t-shirts swallowed by logos
we were sold out by ourselves
death by end user license agreements clicked by everyone
