Post​-​Coital Life

about

The sound of a passing ice cream truck still makes me cry.

lyrics

THE TEAL:
Post-coital life has been 12 years a slave.
Epitonic is gone, so hold that Otter Pop like a vape.
The fifth CD I ever owned now just inspires my eyes to roll
along with the Lifetime credits over which its single plays:
“Anywhere you go, I’ll follow you down.”
Everybody here has seen your pictures;
now everybody wants to clean your fissures
to find the fox ever embedded in your name
(that a thousand hounds have long since rendered tame).
Aren’t we all undeserving emperors
sleep-screaming in a computerized coliseum,
faintly praying that each movement of our thumbs
will boost the blood flow?
And we’re far too wise to specify a final destination.
Every so-called “selfless” act amounts to macaroni art —
yes, it’s supposed to be a heart.
So many decades behind that inceptive smiling lie,
now it’s constantly announced: The thought alone can never count.
Nope, “almost” doesn’t count.
What’s stopping me from changing to Jeffrey Dahmer or Jesse Lacey?
