Too Full Of It To Know

Why am I writing this? I concluded
an hour ago we lived in shit, weren’t
aware of it but didn’t give a shit per
se – and thus the status quo are made.

I refer to the shit we listen to, the shit
we watch on TV, the advertising shit
selling dreams full of shit – and so much
so it’s bursting our seams.

I look up a Thesaurus full of shit and
learn the term ‘taboo’ attaches to it,
a weak euphemism for ‘bad’ shit, cited
in a laconic and sit-comic way.

Like, it’s bad shit and we live in it, eat it,
listen to it, smell, see & feel it day after day.
And nobody gives a shit, while mostly we’re
too full of it to know that anyway.
