99 cents @ the quikstop

i am singular

organic yet 100% reconstituted
of unknown ethnic
origin. uncompromised 

inside a racial

divide

i feel island

composing metaverse
they wanna buy me
for 99 cents @ the quikstop

a generation why
32-bit clerk in
16-thread scrubs
calls me off my platform
in the pink cloud
brigade

radiating my
tertiary-processed
64-bit self-serve themed
limousine queen
ego state

they blister and
sizzzzzle

we gen x

we gen x in the shadow
of the boom

we subjected to vietnam era
rerun documentary
our own stories gunned
down with jfk

they got so worried
during the second war
they waited for victory
to procreate

 

the grandparents
in shell shock reverie
of d.day

we gen x in the shadow
of the boom

we eat astronaut ice
cream and toy with the key
hung off the neck
by a string

mtv lashes out lovely
by light and sound so
we paint the basement walls
all night. under

the influence

bumping our heads
on the deep cut

 

we gen x

in the shadow of the boom

our thumbs blistered
by joysticks inside the impossible
space

hidden in the slant
of the attic and papered
walls

X

i was the one
who told you
i wish you
were never born

i was the one
who suffered by

i was the one
who could not see
the light

i made a hollow
 and lived
in its conceit

darkness

32-bit clerk in 16-thread scrubs

100% reconstituted
i am singular
organic

of unknown ethnic
origin. uncompromised 

inside a racial

divide

i am the anti

metaverse

i feel island

they wanna buy me
for 99 cents at the quikstop

this generation why
32-bit clerk in
16-thread scrubs

calling me out
off my platform
in the pink cloud
brigade

i radiate my
tertiary-processed
64-bit self-serve themed
limousine queen
ego state

they blister
lick and
sizzzzzle
