Mist is hiding
the sacred heart
and smoke
the city of angels.

"That declaration of readiness, no matter what the outcome, that’s a part of everyone’s soul. We are all motivated by deep impulses and deep appetites to serve, even though we may not be able to locate that which we are hoping to serve. So this is just a part of my nature and I think everybody else’s nature to offer oneself at the critical moment when the emergency becomes articulate. It is only when the emergency becomes articulate that we can locate that willingness to serve." Leonard Cohen

I have seen the best minds of my generation destroyed
by start-ups, smug, hypocritical and sad,
dragging themselves through Palo Alto at dawn
looking for a gruff VC,
headhunted hipsters burning for singularity
and a half-day course in mindfulness,
who sat up for days in augmented wealth glugging on soylent
sober on amaranth and the gluten-free jazz
of dawn's abundant enema,
who bared their coy nipples to each other and to Elon
in the half-arsed drag and TedX of a catered desert tent.

The fires
As the harvest failed
and the seas rose up
and the flames from the stairwell
licked at our door
we all of us did what we were told
and stayed in Plato's cave.

The night it rained
The night it rained
three weeks
in half an hour
the rain fell
on us
and washed
away the streets,
and we all
kept on drinking
as if it was
Weimar.
