Of Everything
Of Everything by David N Donihue
OF EVERYTHING
By David N. Donihue
Of Life
Of Love
Of Fortitude
Of next summer
Of some stupid mother fucker with a fistful of
emotional algorithms auto-collected from the most
insecure place within his cranium and converted into
soul-crunching emotional manipulations that he himself
is unaware are being levied through him and at us
Of that mother fucker
Yes. Him.
Of the lithium generation
Of the restless who grin at the weary
Of the gutter town patriots
and poetically stupefied intellectuals
Of her adventurous eyes and pop song heart
You were etched into my cerebral cortex
before I was even born bitch
Etched. Simply etched
Of punching your own lights out
Of finding your own spirit
Of knowing such games are futile
Distractions from the good you can do in this world
Of punk rock. Of tv shlock.
Of wishful thinking becoming a life worth living
Of daydreaming becoming reality projecting
Of genuineness choosing its most
loving versions of communication
Of rolling clouds
And golden skies
Of fiery spirits
And steam engine minds
Of sex with you
Of sex with you
