Dumbing myself down,
staring
scrolling the screen,
shedding
my intelligence daily,
I suppose
perhaps, well you know
stop?
Into the pit we stare and stare
then leap into it,
Dumbing
or is it numbing?
To live in this age of instant
you need soma
or some form of coma
to distract ourselves from the Bosch
painting that’s
now come to life, hell on earth…
Oops
that’s too intellectual
better to
dumb myself down right now.
