Peter Magliocco
granulated masks reflect
platinum luster up close
for civil servant eunuchs to ogle
before half-time comes
in the evolving game
entropic bloodlusts’ life
takes the bottom measure of,
while waiting in unemployment lines
my picture cell phone blows up
like an old-fashioned grenade
you see yourself dismembered by
platitudes of the body politic
where you’re forever featured
in classified archival footage
(laughed at
by the digital curator?)
in the drag disguise of Obama
wake up before intermission
interrupts the flow
of your corrupted life
re-construed as a death scene
by Sony,
then email me your
necrotic bliss
of extenuating circumstances,
seen as your self-portrait
tattooed in that hyperspace
“afterlife” of same-old.
