Hope You're Happy Too
nothing remains
not even a hiccup
vcr-retrograde
cobwebs and
electrical sockets
believe in the same
god
there's too many
reasons
too many
potatoes
under the sink
david bowie
sinking into a
corny creek
harlequin-style
and major tom
losing his savings
everything is
original
everything is not
remember when
m-tv
used to play videos?
remember blades of
grass and
the yellow pages
sorrowful little
post-it notes
about missing something
extra-special
moments that astronauts
seem to live on
you know what?
i've heard a rumor from ground control
oh no, don't say it's true
but it is
it is
true
it is
all of it being shoveled
into itself, a nostalgia
shuffle
forced down a high
school hallway
pushed by the
janitor's broom
i'm happy
hope
you're happy
too
