what’s on your TV,
what your friends tell you,
Spam (the mail and meat variety),
how you felt yesterday,
Mark Zuckerberg’s “human” features
my words,
your words,
Shakespeare’s words,
the words on your phone,
Oh! and birds (probably)
Those dreams you fantasize about,
the way your lover feels about you,
your perception –
of other’s perceptions of you
There are a lot of things
that aren’t real
its all salt water
mud in a syrup bottle.
get it out of you.
Do what you have to
stick a finger down your throat
retch if you have to
Get. It. Out.
