im sending this back

theres no poetic way to really talk about shit these days

the times

the politics

sex and relationships

its not romantic

none of it is romantic

none of it lights my fire

it doesnt inspire any emotion in me thats not despair or frustration

wildfires and fascism and misinfo and neo liberalism and therapy

I cant even ogle the ceo assassin in peace

sometimes I feel like giving up on verse and prose

if its not short form video content

sprinkled with seo

and giving us this day our daily trend

damn it to hell

im reaching out

trying to be moved

by a world I do not recognize

isnt this supposed to be MY time?

MY generation

MY youth

the wonder is gone and the time flies

its all stripped back

like a beautifully deconstructed meal at a Michelin starred restaurant

except im pretty sure

this isn’t what I ordered
