aspiring superheroes without the tights and capes,
belying the fad sighings, trying on organic drapes
focusing on content, trying hard to remain sane,
symbolic addiction, anabolic fictions still out-tweak cocaine
there are seven certain cyphers i won’t use or amass,
while the herd remains content with their grazing under glass.

the pandering never ceases ‘til your pockets show linted creasesÂ
though there are lucre’d leavings from those caught in traps
set for fappers moral lapses and their waning mental maps.
'bi-focals' now buy local while thinking of global trusts,
but scaling e-conomies won’t automatically ennoble us
without more human transfusion and branding sans insanity,
algorithms without rhythm only fan our fabled vanity.Â

‘twead verwy verwy quietwy’; when climbing use some stickum,
just ‘cause you find folks down n’ out don’t mean you hafta kick ‘em.
so saddle up yer gripin’ son and ride your pony expressly,
federales found bordered wallys, while i.r.s. was sniping wesley;
pawn that passport to adventure, cause you’re not the gaming kind,
just you mind your manners, mon, while they gamely mine your mind
for that piece of paradise you lost while seeking naked truth,Â
that’s been steeping in a cauldron you’ve been shlepping since your youth.
*
full of ‘sous esprit et plus’ mingled with some agitation -
there’s no pining, whining, or waiting line - get on...
rebuild your nation.Â
