I open the lid of my Macbook Pro I watch pop music videos on YouTube By Kanye West and Miley Cyrus I don't have to search Because the suggestions bar guides me The suggestions bar knows me better than ever before And it's almost like love Like the feeling of intense belonging When a barmaid addresses you by name And you know in some way you have transcended
I move passively from song to song Piloted by the light of the suggestions bar Passing on the way dreadlocks of bright coloured hair Lazy socio-political statements And face tattoos Occasionally interrupted Aubrey Plaza clickbait And ASMR videos
On my iPhone I play games by Ketchapp and Voodoo I scroll through Instagram Another close algorithmic friend of mine Making sure I see the posts of highest importance first I move through the tanned, bikinied bodies of girls I knew from secondary school Who exist now to me only as ornaments Mounted on the inner wall of my skull as I scroll And who disappear the moment I lock my iPhone
I pass through Southeast Asia Through enlightened gap-years Each interchangeable with the last American sneakers on Vietnam soil Mounted on mopeds All captured on bum bag disposable cameras
Boomtown festival survivors Gurning and glittered In Sector 9 at 8 am My first urinary tract infection Every straight guy at Pride And every white girl at Notting Hill carnival Who are all adorned in Christian Dior And nothing was holy Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
