godspeed
deliver us from listicles and nbc
help me make sense without pretense
tell me what to think
i need something to call it

heard the people shout
found creative ways to isolate, and block ‘em all out
my echo chamber as close a comfort as it was before

surrounded by the discharge
i tap around. life’s not so hard
the outside struggle justifies
my want, my need to stay inside

godd-mn! why
can’t we just file it all away
tired of seeing the ticker talking end of days
i’ll tell you all about it

pundits paid to shout
politicians and papers wring the mystery out
alarmists stay in work regardless
if theyre worth their salt

headlines shared on timelines squared
heap and tower to the umpteenth power
afraid to peer, i sneak it still
afraid of my peers, a lot i will

shut out from the firing squad, the fight
i’m trying to keep it light
might’ve missed the plot entirely
something doesn’t feel right
not sure we’ll ever have hindsight
we watched it all whiz by
fold your hands, beg the sky for advice

god lingers
can’t help wondering if we gave it the finger
if we hung it up mid-sentence or just let it ring
come on forget about it

stopped the shouting
now it’s back and worse than ever
i’m beginning to doubt it’s
meant to stop. whatever. i’m so tired. would you let me idle?

today i g-ssed my car up
first time in… a long long time
stared right at the highway entry sign
figured probably not much left out there to find

don’t tell me the truth
while i’m sitting here existing
what folks around me call resisting, tell em that’s my
business; to mind the party lines
the ‘we’re f-cked’ and the ‘we’re fines’
pick a side, pick suicide or something to rely on

temporarily!
we misplaced our rationality!
but it pulled back in the docks
when the hands on the clock
stopped ticking to nothing
and fate had been bluffing
a perfect excuse to revert to our cues
of course that’s how it
that must be how it
that’s how our story ends

the end
