Futurelessness - Lauren Bousfield

Everything

Take everything

Lie to me until it becomes more real than anything

After total secession

After the dark enlightenment

After Chevron blacking out the sun trying to do the right thing in hopeless

situations

I don’t know how well you can remember your own adolescence

The hope sloughing over like sand

Planning carefully the right strategic way to be just anything

Martha’s vineyard in flames murder them

I don’t want or need to think about the truth

Rotting in an institution

I don’t want you to know anything about me

Being invested in truth like that makes you pathetic

You were never being attacked you wanted to feel attacked
