queens is quiet tonight
from Show Do Tell: A Reading Series & Art Review · host Matt Waters
A life in a mirror Of someone’s design With a fleeting interest In my own mind New, improved rules Assimilated inside Genuflect and pray Before your mobile device There’s a new boss in town Polarized from the other guy Queens is quiet tonight I hate when bands make me wait For something I’ve already seen With survival less guaranteed It matters less what it all means Falling through the seasons Of my dreams Observing the fire hydrant ejaculating blood On my $100 jeans It’s hardly apathetic Noticing where we no longer align Queens is quiet tonight The urgency of yesterday Becomes an uneasy today In a broken contract with safety Which used to account for the price paid And the poets always miss The sunset’s indifference And the politicians equate a vote With a kind of spiritual deliverance The Internet has fallen And now there’s nowhere to hide Queens is quiet tonight My notebook’s privilege Might be something you forgive In the mad dream of culture Where we both live Somewhere a phenomena Uncommented upon The High School cafeteria Is our everlasting god But there’s little hope in it Those trapped in the monitor’s light Queens is quiet tonight
