was it ts eliot or whitman?
whoever.
that coined the lowercase "fuck you" attitude
of some punk poets capitalizing on a caseless sensitivity
a revolutionary amongst man and his lifeless linguistics
why so modest?
an "i" becomes more and more subservient
demurred into a complacent and braindead contentedness
humility at its finest.
it was never the aesthetic of rebellion
like catching a sentence half dressed
completely desensitized.
a period so irrelevant,
even the beats gave a shit for a hot minute.
there is nothing all that special about you and i
let us keep it that way.
