Asthmaboy is Glindon Marten - Seattle WA
​
a branch crack in the woods
kept but not keeping
blood on my teeth
a taste of copper and/or iron
shopping basket with old lettuce leaf
the curious smell of an old book or magazine
i saw a crow eat a baby bird
car doors closing in the distance
lobbying for nuclear annihilation
​
i'm born again feral
in the distilled city streets
through hollowed out concrete hulls
of banks and boutiques
​
commercials are making me nauseous
mouths wide open like baby birds
award shows for professional liars
checks all the boxes
young, arrogant and ignorant, chewing on a wasp
get a new phone every year to support sweatshop slave labor
personal information stolen
a pat on the back for public philanthropy
large asses gyrating for the camera
ugly billionaires sending dick pics
fake work friends, small talk
maybe there’s something, but it ain't this
​
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
talking past each other
the smell of gasoline, sun baked vinyl seats, armpits and cleaning supplies
link is in the description
i repeat things i've heard on the news
with little to no agency or critical consideration of my own
a robin flew into the living room window and broke its neck
afraid to say anything
demonization, dehumanization, demonetization
afraid to say anything
AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING
ants falling from the ceiling
how unfortunate for the world that jack dorsey was born
two stones with one bird
one way supermarket aisles
6 feet apart or 6 feet below
sarcasm sarcasm orgasm
eyes in the dark, one moon circles
please will the asteroid come?
breathe
can't breathe
modern corporate slaves
cancel culture vultures
soon to be a clear-cut
problematic, problematic, problematic
rabble, rabble, rabble
burn the witch
i do not want to be a part of the human race
everybody stare at the black rectangle
side-boob on the red carpet
corporate dogma bullshit
surprise and delight!
social media mob pitchforks
sad and pathetic
people who live in big cities are the worst people
it hurts to have a body
never actually saying what you really feel
inflated sense of self importance
culture of ME
you cant win anything, without losing something
moral superiority, point scoring
add crowd noises
rabble rabble rabble
counterfeit reality
extra curvy piece of driftwood
jacking off for any kind of release
cut my fingernails into the toilet and/or trash can
a crippling case of akathisia
hoping for the lesser of two evils
afraid to say anything
once you see how the sausage is made
add more crowd noises
money makes him sexually attractive
one hand washes the other
the more people “like” me on social media the better person i am inside
don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product
talking fast in pharmaceutical advertisements
take a dump now and then
a hint of nutmeg
check your credit score... fuckface
no need to think for myself
i get my truth from talking heads
watch the ad before the video
wait in traffic everyday, sometimes for hours
c.e.o. is my new g.o.d.
no time for your own passion
city full of itself
people clawing eyes out
9 to 5 suicide
adderall in the corporate kitchen coffee?
fake laugh, ass kissing
inspirational corporate sizzle
keep the herd calm
with wallets wide open
always need the newest best thing
chin diaper on before entering the mall
survival of the fittest asshole
i want your blood on my teeth
a taste of copper and/or iron
hollywood thinks everyday people live in mansions
playing the victim
everyone did a racism
if you don't think the way i do, you must be hitler
24% a.p.r.
children in cages
adults in skyscrapers
buy yourself into oblivion
you cant take it with you
the universe is a single closed electron
the delicate voice of an afternoon cat
you have something in your teeth
spoiled brat, false ambition
i put my arms up when you start the fight
people who cannot see anything outside the poison prism of politics
double standard
bitches be trippin'
i'm tired of trying
i'm tired of trying
I'M TIRED OF TRYING
pretending to be interested
your fake sad eyes
the smell of chlorophyl
reckless and wild
scissors for the children
two sides to every story
gas on empty
down to my last five
wet red leaves on the concrete
pictures of my perfect life
thinking about buying a gun
hike into the mountains and never come back
calm down
enjoy the sunshine
the feeling of my arms around you
makes me feel o.k.
for just a moment
