Can we sing a familiar song in
a time we have made unfamiliar?
I.
insidious pudding
melded merge
blend vanilla bland
soft to taste
sweet too
not toothy
luxuriously smooth
no bite
II.
food fast
chains
overarching arches
meat as king
ichthus sandwiches
sacrificial pigs and cows
the banishment of locality
ubiquitous menus
pervasive uniforms
III.
everything is everything
indistinguishable distinctions
undifferentiated differences
unrecognizable familiarity
fake imagination
true pretenses
replicated imitations
facsimiles of falsehood
unresolved resolutions
distant proximity
home away from home
faceless place
