bring me a blank slate and a child is birthed
the emptiness appeals to my capitalist brain
in solidarity with the rain bodies hit the earth
siren song the sky compelled to fall
aren’t we all refugees frail minds seeking shelter from reality
trace runes under the eyelids to lure sleep
step into a room where common sense is cancelled
pseudo intellectuals speaking through the tailbone
listen stay long enough and the body too will be a sea
