dead weight.
by marcus

I look down at my hands
and it is as if
I am expecting greatness
when I would settle for brilliance
and left with onomatopoeia
my generation has bought
into the individual identical con
everyone is a hero
but no one is a martyr
we progress towards year zero
in search of the peaceful POW
everyone gets it wrong
we are illusions
myths that become mirages
old men telling story’s
boring the young
on wasted youth
candles burn into wax
and the facts remain
we are all insane mad men
weirdos who escape into limitless
darkness seldom towards the light
looking for life in the annex
under the stairs
punching stars into the sky
over our organism
the oceans fuck the coast
gently to the shore
in the woods trees masturbate
to the mating of
insects and mammals
the mountains give way
to the deserts
where life
is forgotten
a skull of a bull sits
till its buried by the wind
