"Tar" by Matthew Zuniga

Quote was the war machine

and he was the path down the wayside –

how I got sick of everything.


What he said, the whole lot of it

was sleep and lies and

my actions are my own and they will not burden you


but they did and I carried his

syllables and structures

in a bag across the desert.


He was the son of man,

he was you,

he was them


talking,

using,

buying,


shitting it all out in fashion

and conspiracy smiles

running on tar like a gold-digger’s lungs.


This is your milestone

plodding onward.


(his) (your) (their) name was in every advertisement

(he) (you) (they) moved so many

mountains that wanted to be left alone.

(he’s) (you’re) (they’re) identical catalogues

dressing up and waiting to die.


Quote is on the front page of the news today:


Renewable Energy: Solution Found

The Sink Pathetic (a cruise ship)

cries her crocodile tears

and floats on them across continents!


if you wake up a bear

if you like your anatomy

don’t look at me


I hate you very much
