sugar and salt

the world
has decided to
not let us be
bored with ourselves
anymore.
contemplating
one's navel
is over.
that ancient
steam train has
left the station.
we have gone
electric
attached to nerve
center
and pulse
of what sells.
information
once ignored
as trivial
and pointless
can't be
ignored anymore.
our eyelids
are raised open
with pins
like in clockwork
orange.
nonsense is
shoveled down
our collective
throats,
saturating our
brains, filling
us with the worlds
sugar and salt,
always teasing us
with more, leaving
us empty
and full at the same
time.
