Give me the simplicity of pure sentiment. I need not this banging of drums and marching band. I despise the  extravaganza.

Du Rigueur

In times like  this

with the extolling of the

vulgar and imbecilic

when dull headedness

and bleak pedagogy

become du rigueur

you will find him hold

up in a room,

windows drawn,

doors locked,

lights dimmed,

embracing  an old lover

Solitude

Algorithms Eat My Soul

Netflix knows who I have become.

Horror, Artificial Intelligence, Alien Invasion,

Conspiracy Theories, Hidden Technology,

Hollow Earth, Bugs Bunny Cartoons and Ass Porn.

is fed to me me like meat to a lion.

I drag  it around my cage like a

juicy  blood soaked trophy

I view Anyone who even thinks about

changing the channel as dipping sauce!

Let my darkness be known.
