lulled by the anonymity
you can see the critics
once in metaphorical armchairs
now behind the electronic podium
you wait for them to get on the plane
but in truth
the only thing they hate
is action
these posts of many words
reactions
of an adolescent soul
to this intolerant grandmother body
condescending at best
inconceivable at worst
but always acting internally secure
With her senile penchant
for self-loathing
and her geriatric distaste
of change
and her pubescent changing
of ideology
She irritates her relatives sometimes
she irritates herself always
but is put up with
because she’s a rich old dog
with money tucked away everywhere
a coin in her handkerchief
a bill in her shoe
She couldn’t care less
about this cybernetic fly
crawling up her arm
lazily hiding
a spraycan behind her back
