“post-dated obituary for the post-grunge movement”
my youth
was committed to suicide
found dead of heart failure
in a tour bus
parked
at the Mall of America
didn't know what was coming
didn't make any plans
just stopping to think hurt
so just kept on moving
out of moves
just
reacting
a lesser
arcana
a small lesson
no one allows themselves to know
anyone else
until they can no longer change
and time freezes them
how they were
they need to make
a vaccine
for empathy
so feeling can become
finally
obsolete
and we can all get on
with our
lives
