We live in a land of Want
confounded
by Desire’s flashy pulse/confused into thinking that Our
Wants are Ours and Ours alone
We live in a land of Want
We
have rewritten
Our
definitions
Want: (1) to need. (2) an emotion that is dangerous if not
fulfilled Immediately
In this land,
everything We need is questioned by Our Want
I don’t want to clean my house, bathe, brush my teeth, eat
my carrots
I [just] Want to escape, to dream, to rationalize
I [just] Want my entitlements fulfilled
I [just] Want the world to sigh and laugh and love with
every word;

to ignore: Immortal
In this land,
We walk with
invisible cameras documenting Our
Every move
Every word
Every. Every. Every
In this land,
We walk like Zombies [the apocalypse has already
happened—didn’t you know?] through Our lives [it’s catching]
waiting for immediate gratification to come
waiting waitingwaiting
Did Godot ever show? Waiting. Waiting.
Our only patience is with Ourselves
Time is Master to the Others. Not Us.
But Others think they are Us. And We are Us. And We
must be served by Others.
But Others are extinct
And it is only Us/We
So, We must service Ourselves
So, let’s just wait
Maybe an Other will appear.
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe
