Millenial

It all started when I still cared about dinosaurs,

when magic was real no matter what,

when the USSR had just lost the game,

the one you just lost now,

when the game was introduced to me,

when Beyblades and YuGiOh

distracted me from Pokemon,

when candy didn’t break my teeth,

when all anyone needed was love

and my belly was always full.

I emptied my suitcase

but that wasn’t enough.

A train,

I’m a trainer.

Follow me to the abyss

of your choosing.

I’m in no intent

of losing.

I am;

a person,

an object,

a verb.

This is the word below the word.

Ha!

Have you heard?

I’m not a bird,

but I can if you want me to be.

Why won’t anyone

just let me be me?

I’m a fiend for defeat.

You get my message?

Delete.

And my feet were made for folding

underneath my frigid seat.

I like my women like I like my gin,

fine and neat.

Er…

Um.

Let me deplete.

You see,

Bottling is not only a process,

but an issue of space.

RAM

Just remind me of who I am

from time to time.

It could help.

It couldn’t hurt,

could it?

I hear a word and I blurt it.

Do I deserve it?

Yes, I deserve it.

Do I deserve it?

Yes, I deserve it.

Hold me when I want you to.

Let me go when I say when.

If you ever call me out,

I may never speak again.

Whoo…

Somebody has issues

with some part of their family.

Let’s get into that,

shall we?

NO

Okay,

I’m wasting space,

but if you considered

damage to cellars and foundations,

and the general havoc

That is wreaked by their roots-

FUCK

I don’t cuss anymore

when I open the store.

I don’t cuss anymore

at customers.

The ride is worth the years removed.

How many cousins could you lose?

Big Pharma has its eyes on you.

Just call it.

Not on the phone.

Facetime,

no video.

Emojis only.

Filters with your back turned,

Flippin pancakes in the Chinese New Year Parade.

This is how we know that we have it made.

I don’t know, it’s not so bad.

I’m in it for the lulz.

Cracking jokes,

dispelling lies,

dodging debtors’ calls.
