We live in a society that’s pushing
us further and further into ourselves.
A cornered
rat can bite a cat…they say
but they
also say a lot of other things
about rats
that are left to die and rot
we’ve been
pushed and shoved by bullies
masquerading
as friends and devoted lovers
Fuck
fakers! Fuck fakers!
we chant in our little bubbles
and there’s
definitely a whole lot of fuckin’ and a lot of fakin’
and just
because we chant doesn’t mean we don’t do it too
that’s all
it takes for us to stay in our caves
we hoard
the darkness of our times while hoping that
the light
from a little rectangle is going to illuminate our minds
the little
rectangle that tells us to love and tells us to like
and tells
us to type shit we don’t mean just so people will
love us and
like us in return even if they don’t mean it either
We live in a society that’s pushing
us further and further into ourselves.
We are
confused and we don’t want to admit it.
We are lab
rats lost in a maze
because we
forgot what cheese smells like.
We are
exhausted and exhausting ourselves even further
by turning
to short-term remedies that work for a while
but then
what? But then what?
Then we
wait. Then we find others who are also waiting.
Then we
talk about what to do about this whole situation
and we
wriggle out of denial together.
We crawl
out of our caves.
We invent
new expressions in which
there’s no
reason for a rat to bite a cat
because
there won’t be any corners to be backed into.
