- fly me to the moon
she had learned / the language of memes
when pleasure means / stocks have gone up
where the advice was / please continue to hold
her right hand was constantly / on the phone
to check her portfolio
to check her / access to desire
- phoenix
it was all about taking the time
to think about the planet
with no money to make things
we have to look to our own resources
- diamond hands
it was the age of / the meme community
with their range of / online practices
their brains fired / by a rocket emoji
& everyone’s excited / by diamond hands
to create a profit / from rapid re-sales
- suburban sprawl
it’s an engineered dissonance
not that I don’t like to listen
but there’s something about
cultural limits
something about
what can be said
- gender skew
we were instructed
to quarantine
we had tarpaulin sheets
& mosquito nets
& a bucket to bring water
from the tank
the women were
more susceptible
that molecular switch
tips the immune system
into overdrive
