News perspective concerns advertisers,
(it’s ok)
you are my relevant target audience
– too surveyed; slush pile shush
file away
slow news days are currency like familial love
as daily representation (
oblivion one-on-one with the trash) our means
of love allow us to discredit. Favour
my father’s clone;
I am melatonin symptom –
matrimonial channels
wire/copy/disseminate:
‘Sterile surface – rebate costs of
wrapping
shin & splint.’
Report back: minimal interest;
circadian rhythm bleed me dry: entranc’d
to first hearing, sharing is shaping
is manipulating,
strong-arm tactics are barbaric refuse.
If my family could see me now (hush,
the baby is asleep
and you’ve been coaxing me
feverish for twenty
minutes) could see familiarity now.
Father is front
page news,
too old to be worth the novelty
of breaking minor bones.
Ristretto every morning and Lysine
– convince myself awake
and not a symptomatic lapse –
familiarity is intimacy and
melatonin please bleed me
dry.
