Straight White Privileged Silence

Listen to sterile silence nursing homebound fans wavering white noiselessness of silent futile passing Absence of passion hope care happiness or creased and reasoned nearing deceased sadness. Hear this void of madness, lack of hunger or parched thirst for conversation splendid nutrition scandalous emission empowering immigration enlightened emigration or angry fear emanation of forced solitude migration Into mortal loss of sensory reception political deception economic perception theistic inception septic conception. Smell nothing. Taste everything becomes dust delustered rust lust for transcendent disembodied consummation omnipresent transportation omniscient evaporation full latitude for fragrance-free plastic platitudes feckless attitudes disdainful blows against further fertile emanations. Sing where nothing settles into rounding octave rings to never ever want to dance in robust spirals forming springs Against depressions felt repressions thought impressions known suppressions unheard deflation worn through integration transcultural conflation Of pantheistic elegant circling Zeroes absorbed by a monstrous monopolistic silent slick supreme One Listening to sterile silence nursing homebound fans, white emptiness of silent restless passing. Glare at isolation. Rake loneliness in. Sleep with solitude if you dare to care and share yet without an inch or squeezed moment to spare.
