    Integration Machine 


    Do you want to walk with me? Until the lips
    of a stranger, a first kiss,
    a silent death is all the same.

    If not the famine.
    If not the war.
    Middle class forever.

    Is he the one?
    Dad, you don’t even know his name.

    Ordered the vegetarian Moroccan soothsayer
    off the menu.

    The Red Book–
    Some proper trippy stuff, she said.
    Open your chakra like a breathing tube.

    Photos shot and killed in broad daylight.

    I’ll be your mirror. But
    are you looking at yourself
    or looking at me?

    Refugees of ChatGPT belong to no one.

    He can enjoy a Reese’s in his sleep and return.
    Where did we start?
    An aggressive place.

    Halfway through, I wanted to take my bra off.
    You look like you’re in paradise, they said on Zoom.

    Just a filter. I promise.
