"I" exists

existence is futile
think about running away, rebound
run towards, transference
run diagonal caddy-corner with a combine
yellow car extinction targeting the youth;
stealing is easy, scratch n’ sniff barcodes
so they can’t read, ignorant illiterate machines
yellow diesel oil slicks drenched rainbows
think about emissions think about footprints
think about twisted up light bulbs and mesh tote bags
carry your food in style minus the guilt
consumer reports on consuming comic sans indulgence
past-tense timelines, old yellow calendars
in the sun room and bamboo shoots
our calendars are always flashing noon
neon Heinekens refresh us wash our necklines
hanging please hanged present-tense valium
get-off the junk horse, wrapped smiling wide eyes
screaming commentary running in a line below
the bar and dropped chex mix and
one-ply napkin coasters sopping up
yellow beer stains, cut us our share,
erasures in thinking about would you ever
white legacy red mornings crystal misgivings
popping commercial soap bubbles
and the chrysalis on our back spine-growth
smoking a pack to get through something,
the armageddon comes to you
in yellow saran-wrap and crinkles
murder binary code sun-god
