Alone In The Machine

Something About Infinity

you take a piss,

flush,

and a drop falls

on your boxers

forming the Mandelbrot

set

but you dislike Pixar,

Disneyland,

the world.

a whole universe of

piss.

we need more truth,

more beauty,

more love.

Jeremy Kyle's on TV

endless documentaries

about the rise to power of

Adolf Hitler

and looking around

observing it all it seems the

world has become one

long episode of Geordie

Shore.

we lick at it like an old wound

unable to let it go.

the philosophers,

the poets,

the prophets,

and artists

are not on TV.

we have had no higher

influences,

the lowest common denominator

has become the highest

and i am left wondering

if it turned into this

because all the good lofty men

and women

were cast out long

ago,

or if this is what we wanted

all along.
