COMPRESS

REMASTERED it’s off to a cracking start
teach me how to post real good
join in communal meme creation for the friendships
you’ll forget viewing
dark night of the soul patch whereupon you frag kids
screaming in the background
heavy breathing in the mic
dedicated to Catullus #63 the fractals increase productivity
send in your email requests anytime
commenting on utube songs is lower than

///

Dedicated Xeriscapists reduce
locally grown hegemonic cacti come into
water restrictions implemented by municipalities
I can be the rake this city needs
to redefine corporate evil in the new millennium
I’ll take khaki as notification for
post rock office anthem outdone on user design
FOR ONCE redact emotion
there’s a theoretical physicist inside all of our minds
and you can talk and talk until next level privilege ekes itself

///

They unlocked another step of honesty better to be brand aware
specious Florissant Ave declared
state of emergency grand jury not to indict
lossless compression of state secrets into umbrellawave
hardcore kicks I’m on street level on repeat
using a manipulating noise to increase signal output
dust singular dorsal mixture of household products dead skin
cells from fiber carpeting material
does one band ruin an entire genre
when it’s into your lungs your home under pile

///

I felt sad so I got a bunch of plants
today in farmer’s market
wrecked grain burned rubber bottoms
aural repressive sign
RIP DAY9 Xboct confirmed hot grill
such pleased emotive subscribe to unlock faces
I forgot undulate
to create your own sense of suction
concerned about the celebrity housing market
your CPM is weak goes off the text

///

The impression rendered insensitive
eccentric circles of engagement drives advertising revenue
for my dusty used car investors didn’t like what they saw
which drives clicks per minute
measuring the true size of a website which drives
a wall street narrative for greater user share
1-2 times the size of its logged in audience which drives traffic
markets and self reporting flyers
through sales widgets in 90s clip art aesthetic
where ghost trains search for forgotten passengers
