zip codes and a brief bio?

villagers are outside drinking homemade root beer
they have traveled many miles from the Northern
Zones
it is hot and humid here in Southern Florida
years ago, one could not go outside for the bugs
now there are no bugs
what few birds that remain
hop around on deformed legs
in parking lots
looking for scraps
from parking lot picnics
tourists are too smart to dine in restaurants
the kitchen help are prisoners on work release
the food is purchased in bulk from bootleg sources
death may bring resurrection
dt just seems painful
(you could ask Robin Williams)
If truth took off its gas mask
Would you even recognize it?
Fast judgments are timed
Two minutes on each side
Keeping the customer happy
With warmed-up paper-wrapped sentimentality
The only place I saw a sunset
Was on Instagram
No foxes in the moonlight
Just screens facing the void
Our one time world evaporates around us
And we document the spectacle
But don’t turn down the heat
Apply facades and filters
Farm insecurities like penned up beasts
Brush it under the carpet with
Curb appeal
Added value
Hashtag your best life
