google ai highlights its words for me
like i am receiving visions
in my own digestive tract
aspartame i beams
building out scaffolding
with nothing inside
clanging boards and aluminum struts
pressing down town
and on the third day
god set
let there be diet coke
man hadn’t made regular coke yet
sex is the exchange of genetic material
i pass you my diet coke qr code
as in we fuck
like god intended
all ornate mechanisms
and goo
slime and structure
meaning and nothing
like the math ungirding
calorie counting
and the infinite expansion of the universe
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
the city fills its own belly button
with each of us
filthy inside
the wheels are falling off
and we keep putting them back on
flat and slashed
tires going flub flub flub
down the tarmac
