Can we be frank with ourselves
Mr. O'Hara? 
You were too confident
to mass it up.

Each mastication
plasticked the future
and here the rest of us are
in the post.

It's after modern
later than most of the isms
and our pauses now feel
like infinite time.

Phones were coming
when you put together
your shit.
Now it's our shit

and we are too
much of a mess
to get off 
the pot.
