by Maria Kornacki

Published in Issue No. 288 ~ May, 2021

Temporarily the perpetual, pendulum void

i visit in reverse

camera roll as a souvenir and scroll blankly

safari

 

could not

open

 

the page, a cheap tour *eye roll*

money back (not guaranteed)

 

guide

reading the fine print

 

night readers on in absolute

darkness, so bats like you

may trail

blindly, of course. Wait, did you say,

off course? “What?” *hands over $*

I’ll “follow”

you *click* totally “like” “like” “like” *insert heart emoji*

and then…

Ctrl+Alt+Del

in other

symbolic representations

of language chucked off a cliff and from

the torches of Neanderthals

 

*interrupts* excuse me

while I hibernate

and

xxx backspace [retreat]

bar trash bin throw xxxxout

row to oblivion

 

because the server stopped

responding

and all I got was this

lousy. Hold up.

“Loud?” Auto

correct, was this lousy

t-shirt ?!?! Bye.
