huff huff huff
my nose hurts
my soul hurts
my throat hurts.
i can't hear my own evidence
as i yell and laugh, albeit pretending
that i'm having
the time of my life
huff huff huff.
ears nose and throat.
mucous membranes of the spirit
absorbing through osmosis.
culture, loving, romance
each and every passing second
i want to live that, i want to dream that
but wants become realities
and my purpose is depleted.
can corporations feel?
can they believe in a god? can they eat? can they speak?
what does a corporation look like
and why does a corporation
have more political power
than me, the “citizen”
i can feel
i can believe in a god. i can eat. i can speak.
the space in which i occupy is my person
but why does a person
have less rights
than a stack of papers
than me, the “citizen”
all things loving rot eventually
but the wealth, the money, the impact always stays
to rule the next generation
of those who are living
listen here, my friends
am i guilty in my soul?
am i guilty to the bone?
i feel guilty on my own.
listen here, my friends
half a fraction claims our land
they do not understand
they do not understand
