In Your Wrinkled T, Original Poetry, Photography, and Digital Art
In Your Wrinkled T
the audience
silence the arenas
and opera houses
tik tok
dance like a maniac
to the beat
of lost time
in your wrinkled T
tik tok
chant
to the melodic rhythm
voice a shallow tattoo
hashtag and pound out
some virtue signalling
tik tok
dance like a maniac
to the beat
of lost time
in your wrinkled T
you know the one
tik tok
turn savagery
into ironic gold
spin your truth
Rumplestiltskin
the Emperor has no clothes
but he wears a mask
touch ... but first
freeze your ore cache
your molten, golden inside
so it won't be mined
claim your hurrahs
in virtual, electric blue
opposable digits
express your satisfaction
of the immense and pneumatic
touched up, untouchable assets
be easy with your hollow hearts
and emotionless emoji
tik tok
dance like a maniac
to the beat
of lost time
in your stretched-out T
you know the one
the one I made
that Way
tik tok

I liked the wrinkled T poem, as I sat reading it in my wrinkled and hole filled T. Your photo edits are great, I really liked the eyes one.
Thank you:) How bout that ... yes, I think a lot of us our rocking the old T-shirts these days:)
Yes and perhaps a bit to much complacency when we are wearing them.
Complacency ... yes, that.
Love this! Can I include it in my HIVE poetry collection?
Thank you. Remind me. Your poetry collection?
Nice digital art photography.
Thanks, Kam:)
