people buy news gossip
feel secure, far removed,
older than the newspaper
but they crave poetry
out of nostalgia
because money gets lonely
it’s really propaganda
but it’s believed too
even when they aren’t convincing
selling Taylor Swift bangs, OMG bangs!
rather than making it,
people buy lies, believe it,
leave it
good news is without warning, without aim, without substance
people buy newspapers to line bird cages, and wrap up
fill the psychic void
people buy news
when they fail to make news
with adrenaline pennies,
Deleuze and shoes,
without a critical thought
when they’ve wrung out the blues
that doesn’t stay news
