The lingering subtle changes of your face
—-
Obfuscating my washed out love into the
Bewildered cataclysmic,
Same old newly formed 15 year beach,
Everything you told me before
Surreptitiously used as a reminder that it was a distraction… and it
Slips into evanescence, a volume of volcanic activity lost in a plume of your acidic, wordy, dragon smoke
In a quick, reply
Veritable lies you covered up as new truths
Envelop the lingering subtle changes of your face.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

I liked how while reading the poem I'm thinking, oh this person is shady, don't trust him/her/they, then the last line "obsessive" changes my thought to, oh your the crazy one. haha. very fun.
This is a beautiful and haunting poem. Amazing work, as always. 💓
Okay, Melissa, now it seems you're talking about me. Who told you that I'm OCD?
