or are we?
be afraid to remember

metaphor
creates
a home
for my modern
war
fought in fashion
room
by room
the call was coming
from inside the house
busted
and brute force
search
is your only option
when you don’t know
another way
sometimes
you need a clue
other times
you need a life
but I found it
(phew)
& here we are
city center
bustle!
the public square
fascinates
ever gone
people-watching
inside yourself?
no gates
for you
to storm
you see
who walks proud
in your streets?
and who is pulled
by strings?
is it you?
fuck around
find out
hunched
outside
of bart
holding a cane
and cardboard
and words
I thought to stop
he thought
to talk
to me, too
“look,”
he said
pointing
at everyone
streaming
through the gates
as light
through leaves
“they’re all
so beautiful
every one of them!
and they don’t know it!”
I looked through
his eyes
that man
is me
but he probably
can’t code
“why,” he asked
“can’t they see it”
“because”, I offered,
“they were raised
in a world
that blinds”
he made
a sign
“that’s deep,”
he said,
“I guess
when they killed
my wife
and my baby
it really
fucked
me up”
some nests
aim
to tangle
fall into one
soft
snare
of stories
who sob
and strangle
every tale
has a head
who got
into yours?
On Sunday, the CEO and co-founder of Coinbase posted an article on the company blog called “Coinbase is a mission-focused company”. I heard about it from a friend, who sent me the link along with a message that only said “…”
What could it be? I started to read:
There have been a lot of difficult events in the world this year: a global pandemic, shelter in place, social unrest, widespread protests and riots, and west coast wildfires. On top of that we have a contentious U.S. election on the horizon.
I think I’m following so far: halting global warming…

you swipe
without seeing
without meaning
without joy

sit your phone down
at the kitchen table
or whatever
