consumerism

Published by Barbara Joan Tiger Bass on January 19, 2021January 19, 2021

we echo like se awful
remake poorly filtered

cross our arms and look
down on the trendy

his empty wishing well
full of cell phone fantasy

and late night swims
hidden in the dark

a place our aging
hearts rarely venture

that death place
that earliest fall
