VI
Progress camouflaged in phony
glitter shines in the dark and becomes
your fright and its antidote
your newly desired medication
your new pathos and pothos*
appropriately declared and
it glitters in the dark of a room
or the darkness of a soul dictating:
what you must do
when you must eat
when you must sleep
who you must meet
who you should look like
who you may be like.
Your newly desired medication
glitters in the dark appropriately
named and gleaming its new teeth
your newly desired opium
dresses you in its superficial desire
undresses you to its absurd whim.
