Instagrammar



She lives in photographs
Quite happily
On beaches
At parties
With her family
With attractive young men

If she has a job,
It's just smiling
Out at us from
The comfort
Of our own 
Phones

Sometimes 
I put my phone sideways
When I'm lying down
On my futon
I can zoom in on her
I can see the drink in her hand

And then I can 
Almost hear
The sound of
Distant parties in the night
Against the ocean of my 
Wall to wall carpeting

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
