FOR THE LOVE OF FANTASY
The reality of life is unbearable,
that’s why we have
Cocaine
Hollywood
Disney
Pornhub
Mcdonalds
The Museum of Modern Art
local bars
Las Vegas
TV’s
PS4’s
The NFL
Six Flags
YouTube
The Bahamas
Strip clubs
Marlboro Cigarettes
celebrities
casinos
Netflix
just to let these fantasies
and other pleasurable things
take us away from our loathed
realities for thirty seconds.
MAGICALLY DELICIOUS
Sometimes I’ll forget
I’m a human being
in a universe, on a planet
rotating with other planets
and then I’ll realize none
of this makes sense
and then I’ll go back to
eating my bowl of
Lucky Charms.
GOLD JEWELRY DIPPED IN HONEY
You can’t want something you’ve
never been exposed to.
I didn’t want a lot of things
until I actually saw it.
DOPAMINE OVER EVERYTHING
We all know we’re supposed to
drink plenty of water,
eat fruits and veggies,
yet we still eat Chinese food, hamburgers,
hotdogs and drink sodas.
Why, because quick momentary
vices are paramount over our
own longevity and endurance.
WISH YOU WERE HERE
I wish you were here
I wish you were fucking here
I wish you were really fucking here
I wish you you could be here
I wish you were here so much
I fuckin hate you because your not here
I wish you were here all the time
I just wish you were here
I just wish you were here
I wish you were here
