american ennui by heather hurlock

everyone’s a brat
being good is too demanding
ai pulse beats quicker
before the fall
and modern heartbreak hurts so much
it doesn’t hurt at all
they say
you can’t kill light
but this world kills people who shine like the
sun
who shine without wanting anything
in return

silliness is happening
sainthood is for the young
leaders are immune
when they point the gun
and all I wanna do
is run

can’t find news
when conspiracy theories rise
it gets harder and harder to tell
the truth among the lies
bring back the pigeons
send messages on the wind
while cat cow bodies
learn to grow thicker skin
so their hearts can withstand
this post-truth world we live in
silliness Is happening

silliness is happening
sainthood is for the young
leaders are immune
when they point the gun
and all I wanna do
is run
