"While the Drowsy World Dreams On"

The reupholstered chair of the Select Committee for Accurate Symbolism

Was interrupted by next level sequencers

Making major announcements.

My inner straitjacket tells me there are no new symbols

Only new combinations.

Handcuffs around my waist remind me

Middle management is no place for

Command sergeant majors

Out herding cats with

Oat milk on their tongues.

A gaggle of legit luxury brands

Teeming with reward credits and wedding pictures,

Relentless, reinless,

Redeemed by mantras chanted on beads

Streamed along inroads 

Veering into very very land,

Got suckered into bearing honor

Not even gravity is heavy enough to endow.

The less attached the more

You are likely to swing.

Flirting with a barista in Buenos Aires.

Taking on the person of a character in a fantasy world,

I’ve already tagged the culture

Using one of the five best languages to fail in.

As though to say

I live in Active cash,

And my accounts are linked.

So repeat after me:

(In the same breath as Newton’s first law)

Always be refreshing.
