Pyramid Scheme
I’m wearing bows and arrows cos
you let me, you left me here with this
inheritance of junk and ready to
recycle yogurt containers i filled with
cement to receive compliments, it’s the
garbage they love most but don’t want
to pay for unless it’s vitrine’d
Somehow Houdini chose different problems
and I admire him for distracting
me and everyone else from
thinking about death in the too tired
way that fuels cosmetic industries
pays thousands for turning
grapes into grapefruits on his dime
i’m seeing less more but that’s down
hill i’m not confusing the triangle
with the pyramid, one is flat and the
other has people inside holding up
the base on their shoulders like servants
multiplying agents like matrix men
grey to astound me grey to neutralize
to neuterize me, I’m paying
her to clean above
the poverty line
