Do you still remember?

How to feel

Or what is beauty

Can I still believe love is real?

Everything seems so conventional

Even the UN-conventional

Rational society in front row prosperity

Gossip in cellphones

In carry on airless suffocation

Away from recession

Completion is impossible

In empty headed companions

Air is lost

Cut off

From oxygen

Shallow conversation

Cuts my oxygen off

Just like shallow lovemaking

Maybe I’d be better off alone

Chosen

To be

Selectively forsaken

Or maybe disappear

In some recreation of image

Of body

Some silicone injections

So you feel like a model

A plastic goddess

Are you as fake inside as out?

Can I be less jaded?

A little more sedative

A little less opinionated

I can’t breathe in here

The air is dead

Someone cut the oxygen off

Took away the things that feed my head

Chosen to be

Selectively forsaken
