Calle Everybody
By Kara Takasaki
The global party [consciousness]
throws confetti to the wind.
TodosJuntos
driving the universe to chaos.
Raising the iPod music wall
in the Berlin of the metro—
Colored crazies catatonic catastrophe:
resonates off the walls
a bouncing pinball through the car.
Raw sounds on cold metal
swing ‘round poles
[scuffing the CEO’s briefcase]
clanging through the dimly lit labyrinth.
Their cathartic incantation
castrates the causation,
the correlation
casts—no, hurls
coarse crimson melody;
an electrified shock,
shot through Capitalist Christian bodies
geared to autopilot.
Between
Rosa Parks
and Miranda’s Rights
they ask for bread. [I sit]
E N T R O P Y
my friends…
Is a beautiful thing.
