the atomically compromised

thought you controlled the world your

media constructed myth 

up downloading torrents of permanent denial 

retweeting your favorite tweets glued to the young 

the restless dreaming of another piece of ass wading 

thru your broccoli florets stuck on stupid atomically
compromised goodbye

in America

nobody thinks alike nobody 

feels the same all 

the time. this is diversity

not subversion

we have shared history 

not carbon copy

if you wanna force someone

to think like you

this country is not 

your home

#katyamills

unified by division

topping charts to Siberia
they cast across Europe the States
legs down south by jeep by boat by
on foot on mood stabilizers on
chromebooks over streams and bit torrents
with under age girls
like some strange new religion unified
by division

#katyamills

the blinking ghosts

we float above stones 

ready to be polished

in then out of view

now we are colorful neither shiny 

absent not faded

not simply a statistic

dreaming to be someone we are

more realistic

city kids

an inside job turned out
a city kid gripped 
with doubt. the infinite details
the mind runs through

some barren fields
smokers heavy in their chains
anti-drug campaigns

DONT WALK        -      run!

she took your hand

in the street you 

knew you were 

loved

#katyamills

daybreak again

some spirit set off the motion 

sensitive lights triggered a memory 

the world had forgotten and you 

never would. they wanted you tough

growing up. had you up early

dressed and out before daybreak 

missteps and tears rarely forgiven 

they had been beaten 

out of them before

you

#katyamills

twenty thirteen

when fentanyl hit the spleen
overdose became mainstream you lost 

friends and legends and the sun still rises

the light wakes you under 

your angel hair cabbage you formulate 

a mission you play with memory you

love and live on

and on

and on

and on
