in the age of machines they foraged
for scraps fought for territory
the latest liquid cooled solar powered billboard
ridiculed them from the heavens
they silently protested black fridays
cyber mondays and the obsolescence
of thoughtfulness

i got pummeled by dreams
last night thrown into skirmishes
fought back but could not
stay on my feet. now its morning
and got to be ready sometimes
so tired from sleepin
#katyamills
with a breath to the top of the lungs
and a prayer from the bottoms
up they arose high
and headed in
#katyamills
in a sky swimming with currents
they held on to mom by fistfuls of cotton
seated on a giant slab begging alms under the palms
about to fall asleep when a set of shiny silver trumpets the angels did envy
heralded a monster rolling wheels big as they
themselves #katyamills
on a frozen detroit morning
the cars slosh by the department stores
window shopping heat on the racks
please help a boy cried out disconnected
from reality and though they raised him
they loved him they
didn't #katyamills
days of heavy rain
the dry old world turned
green our hearts yellow blue
then red. seeing you smile was a miracle
the desolate world teeming we crossed ourselves carelessly
skipping down jackets waxed halls
a stark freedom chased by
the principles the rules
made for proper
confetti
