At a Protest in the Near Future [Today's News Poem, October 2, 2010]

At a Protest in the Near Future [Today's News Poem, October 2, 2010]

Oh wash out the clutter, those clods in the gutter.
Yes, gather the faithful; a capitol—state, full
Of weaponized masses of cattle-like asses.
They're lowing and braying; they're bowing and praying
To monuments. Wave to the camera we gave to
An escrow of cables, that mimic where able
Their masters, their fervent devotion as servants
As lamb grows to lion, before he is scion
To shimmering slaughter: he drowns them in water
A perfect reduction of master's production.

“The Democratic base gathered in Washington Saturday, seeking to rouse their party in the face of likely losses in the midterm elections just a month from now. ”
– Brad Knickerbocker, Staff writer, Christian Science Monitor, October 2, 2010

Post-Future Squid Demons Pray to the Mask of Doctor Doom [#twitterfoundpoem, October 2, 2010]
Tweets+Edits=#twitterfoundpoem

you could make up any mask you like.
that's why u play the thirsty villain.
is it really bold or is it plain?
wear a plain outfit.
then wear a bold mask.
Amazon Queen mask,
squid mask,
a gas mask might be in order.
my whole thing is if u want to make your market
more successful, mask your person.
mask your person.
is it really bold or is it plain?
post-future squid villain demons
wear a mask, a bold bold mask:
a person mask with real skin.
Doctor Doom is who wakes me up everyday
and i'm 4ever grateful for super villian demons everyFUCKINGday;
grateful for his love,
this is why i pray.

I've been at this for 2/3s of a year. You core readers have been great; I've learned lots from what gets you to read more & what annoys you. I'd like for you to help me out again; get a couple of literary or news minded friends to check out Toylit. I truly consider you guys genuine tastemakers; I mean, you've stuck around Toylit despite the dearth of recommendations for it. I promise I'll keep trying to bring you a satisfactory, daily, anti-news reading experience. I just need a reminder it's not all in vain. Thanks.
