Wholesale Repackaged Trauma
Stream of Consciousness Poem. Social Commentary.
literary voyeurism
deciphering symbolism
I want to be the fly on your wall
the one you don't notice anymore
the one you feed all your
hopes, dreams, thoughts,
regrets, misery, post-sex blues
*
I don't want to see you naked
I want to hear you naked
underneath the skin, the fabric of your body
*
deconstruct your inner workings
reverse engineer you
from the sadness, the happiness
from the bad days and good that made you you
the only you there ever has been
*
take all that dirt, grime, love and hate,
replicate it, wholesale distribute it
Appleise it, Microsoft it, Disnefy it.
Commercialise and Capitalise
repackage your trauma
as an "Experience"
indulge the masses
Wait... that's already a thing
*
