map of the place without cares couldn’t last even if what they did with it made it suck just standing empty across a half dozen global wars and presidencies and fashion cycles and now it’s gone full nostalgia bait gone full backlash gone full backlash to the backlash only to end up proven a hoax no detectable effect upon the true believers ‘til they forget bookmark fell out had no page grip just start a new book less demanding book a burning book
in a place of vacation
in place of a vacation
i ended up fielding a bunch of damn questions
ended up fielding
a bunch of damn armies
people did all of the quitting
i didn’t have enough ammo to manage the deserters
it’s just me, now, fighting the war from all sides
it’s just mean, now, in place of a vacation
in a place of vacation
a burning book spit me out asked me to leave yelling and yelling in my face the fuck is wrong with me i can’t get out of there fast enough a burning book keeps writing me back into it just so it can spit me back out just to keep me on the hook even as it denies me any credit but it got slightly fascinating right there at the end how long could i stand it would there be a prize at the end
vacation vacated
the prize of my burning
no (discernible) gap in my grind chronicle
but I have to live with the lie
which doesn’t show on my face
which is not a bad deal at all
as far as bad deals go
