AUTHENTIC COUNTERFEIT!

Pink girl with a blond guitar
crowd of digital friends with cameras
SNAP! CLICK! FACEBOOK! MYSPACE!
Secrets open only to the young and blond
Closed to those old men who understand only loss/rejection
who sing a solo off key note-authentic! (counterfeit)

EVOLUTION
Demosthenes as Cicero as Lincoln as Hitler as Churchill
as Kennedy as MLK as Malcolm X as Blair as Obama as Beck as Palin

"THESE BOOTS ARE MADE........."
Naughty Monkeys.Via Spiga.Michael Antonio.Nine West.
Cynthia Vincent.Chinese Laundry.See be Chloe.Joe's Jeans
Very Volatile.Dolce Vita.Rachel Zoe.Jessica Simpson.

it is not death (more incapacities
our little deaths define us(defy us!-
age,and loss,decay,Alzheimers
gaps between intention and act
absorbing on some level yet incapable of response
all this blaring trumpet media-moments lost
trained to eat fast and forget.another little death
when names and dates and people's faces merge
like films at a Film Festival-or all night movie channels
borders between what we see /imagine fall
(we are not quite sure if we are fully here at all)
inside,every prisoner becomes a wall
to get out may be a key.the lock is inside
turn the other (laterally)-just to see
if attitude changes anything-or if we are dying by degrees
this being our third.
