undesirable tendencies (redux)

a welfare check on my chickpeas
a moral bankruptcy pulls me
from a restraint on my stoop
a clue found in my miniature espresso

rasp—my neurons are frayed
while packing peanuts + PFAS dilute my membranes
thumb-actuated airguns are hard to beat

silt screws cut like symbols (or is it cymbals?)
weaned from reluctance + rigmarole merchants
it’s the threat of the enema that never threatens
that threatens incessantly

a glob of hornet + a flicker of worm
a channel for my undesirable tendencies
i eat the burglary of unmediated terms

What I’m Reading:

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.
