the shallow mimicry screams at me as the words fall from mute lips to be showered upon deaf ears again

i search my skin for an impossible to pronounce swedish sounding glob of consonants and umlauted vowels

some assembly required product was assuredly damaged in shipping no returns not liable for pedantic poems

another case of the cobbled together poet with less sense and an overabundance of common just no commonalities

on a dusty rack in the back of an abandoned ikea on the outskirts of nowhere behind the mcdonalds that’s on fire
