untitled (1/18/2025)

blip and bleep
crinkle and crackling
stu-stu-stuttering  ins-s-s-sanity
the glitchy model
twisting involuntarily
in a cultural short circuit

like paint being violently
shaken off the canvas
leaving only the tabula rasa

to be replaced by
straight lines and solid concrete
of the new authoritarianism
a vestigial past
forcibly destroyed or locked up
so many voices silenced 
THIS is the new America
