notes:
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked,
doom scrolling their way through their morning commute looking
for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo of retweets likes and shares,
who bared their brains to the digital zeitgeist and found a
higher calling in service of corporate mission statements,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating when they believed it was worth every dime,
who spent every waking hour thereafter longing for the
forgiveness of an unseeing and uncaring loan service officer,
or CEO, or President,
who tweeted thoughts and prayers for those laid waste by the
crippling nihilism of a world left poisoned and uninhabitable
by a generation that rest assured that all you need is love
while taking everything that was good for themselves,
who lounged hungry and lonesome before their Netflix taking
solace in the idea that every time they're asked if their
still watching, somebody somewhere might know that at that
moment they were still alive
who knew love is best kept a byproduct of a chance encounter
with someone who happened to be using the same app to get laid
as you,
who wept at the simplicity of using Instacart to bring them
bags full of onions and bad craft beers, passed out in the
bushes at Coachella and Bonaroo,
and accepted that truth is relative to you, but absolute for
all others.
