trail of flaming stars

letter by letter
they stand alone
i
always lowercase
lesser
lessened
lesson
less
than zero is what
exactly

this vacuum of human intelligence
is fucking with our artificial intelligence
and stripping art from all communication channels
toks to song to dance to fall
on deaf ears
no longer familiar with amazement
beauty
reading
learning to breathe and be still

a day without a phone
and young souls become untethered
and adults become depressed and lonely

i
shadow banned everyone
in an attempt to recenter my journey
no gps or wifi signal
is going to locate
my happiness
my song

i
will
sing

anyway
