little love-heart likes
like drops of red rain
rain upon my image
imagine the approval—
approval!
in my veins
in vain I try to keep it
it’s gone—the world moves on
on to ever newer stories
stories so sensational
sense is pushed aside
side yourself with someone
one side or the other—
other news is coming up
upward trending—multiplying
lying?
maybe, I can’t tell
tell you what I saw just now
now is moving far too fast
faster still, the flow won’t stop
stop!
or will it take us under?
understand that we will never
never find our fill
filling up on what this feed
feeds us
