Momentary Loss of All Hope For Humanity
while waiting in line at a bank,
a television hoisted in the upper corner of the room
has anderson cooper’s television show on &
a woman is testifying that during her
near death experience,
she acquired the ability to speak
telepathically
to both aliens & angels---
she looks right into the camera when she says it
with all the “faith” in the world
gleaming out her
beady
little
idiotic glow worm
eyes
&
those beady eyes
stare right down at you
while the person in front of you is taking
way
too
long
to finish whatever the **** they are doing at the window---
your mind dashes between frustration with the actual physical idiot
asking mundane bank questions to an obviously
bored out of their goddamned mind
bank teller &
the nutbag on the telly
trying to convince a national audience
that she is somehow
SPECIAL.
