2 Poems
Justin Marks
ALL WEALTH IS STOLEN WEALTH
The future is noun
Is verb Nothing
to be happy about Everything
to live for The ego
asserting itself through
resistance
Those of us who cling
to words for meaning
Seagulls perched
on the ruins of ancient cities
An almost new
set of dreams
THE ZOMBIES ARE THE GOVERNMENT
Catharsis is motion
The control we have
is destruction
Particular potatoes of time
Can you hear how quiet
Iām trying to be
Trillions of galaxies distributed almost
uniformly through space Balance
over hierarchy Words acting
as placeholders
until better
ones come along
