Blurry faces caught in the cameras
Copper cords, the threads of the feathers
Do you know you deserve something better?
News isn’t news

Tripwires on basement stairs
The IRS is braiding your hair
Strong memories fall somewhere
Reboot the shoes

Target practice in our backyards
ICE scratching the sky above
Big brother can work out the bugs
And choose us too

Give up on love
Just zeros and ones
