Oblivious
Photo & Poem x Manuel de Sousa
Holy German Roman Empire faces,
watching stories on streaming services.
Like a paradoxical hyperinflation:
The over abundance of gentrifying
vinyl records.
A sonic serendipity for retired
ventriloquists dummies,
chewing sugar free gum,
like the intangible aspartame
of corporate and unduly
mandibular productivity.
