Disposable sponges with no shelf lives -
wiping up shit stains, rainbow tears, and gaslighting
making use of temporary, secondary, & third income
in a share economy
where we use each other’s brains, cars, and time
like a rotting watch,
a frazzled, overworked, underpaid tictoc watch
no hands, no way to tell the time,
the years that have rotted
alongside Fuji apples, worms crawling out,
food for worms,
not enough money for food,
for avocado toast,
first-world problems,
buy shit you don’t need
things you can’t afford
so you can chomp on overpriced
jeans and soy candles
in bubble baths
in your 500 square foot condo
house broke at 30
but thank fuck we still have
social media
to consume
and suck up
like the disposable
forgettable
sponges we are.
