Poem for the week, 16 January 2023
Post deconstructionism
Our landscape has changed.
Spaceland, faceland, wasteland, what you will.
The users wtf and lol in the distance,
a gurning orgy of burning thesauri;
a lethal injection of terse free verse.
The others --
there's no sound of them
on this blasted derivative heath.
Meanwhile,
a thousand cottage industries
forge endless aphorisms;
embryo memes in screaming template font,
post after post after post,
gathering virtual dust on virtual walls.
