Frequencies that pass
beneath my broken layers
Of mortalled flesh and bone
by gestures of capitalist criticism
of the system trying to f*** me over
for ‘all too ambitious’ clairvoyance.

‘By the people, for the people’ is
Marketing bulls***
for a monetized tweaker
of the business franchise.

The fragrance of today
birthed as a bill for the
silver dollar
disguised as a
tin can baby
in the oh so dirty

Commonwealth of the people
that are for the people.
