Tuesday poem #666 : Ealhwine : Illeism

 

 

dearth of demonic things in life
now: Labubus instead of Tickle Me Elmos

receptacles for our placeholder evil
until that evil escapes the groupchat

unlike that holiday from adult life
holiday by default, by the sea

only to miss the browbeating illeism
of parrots, Polly wanting and all

the harbinging of rain
the backlash against hyperindividualism

you're one in a crowd, my chatbot said live
meaning sycophancy and spewing the opposite




Ealhwine is an unserious pseudonymous data annotator.

the Tuesday poem is curated by rob mclennan
