"Despite the intentions or motivations of individual actors, and despite the idealistic mantras our politicians and pundits chant to their children (and themselves) before they go to bed, nihilism is the operative reality of contemporary public life." (via Mefi)

here there is no why

with sheerer honey
herewith no heresy
inheres thy whey

hey hero whitener
heron-whither eyes

seethe honey whirr

Elmo's fud.

Rapist Cheetoh's rap sheet
erased for the horrorshow
handmaids banned from ballots
who knew? not the Fox-fed

pity were a poor word
punitive thuds judder
& a bard frets bite-size
about Santa-phantoms

gifting us with goosebumps
aghast in the fast lane
war · furious windfall
the one solid frolic

as the red ties toady

The Last Days of Pompeii.
