Live In The Moment

stop glorifying the mundanities of your life

you slave to instant gratification

you notification dope fiend

you influenced follower

you amateur paparazzi

you museless narcissist

you avatar sellout

you aesthete of lackluster

you epiphany of mediocrity

you magnificent superfluity

you do not deserve the people’s attention.

Instagram

concupiscence strikes the affluent nympholeptics

and the pretty girls savvy at branding themselves

conquer the market with their veblen talents.

White Flighters

…but now they wanna be cool again

so they go back to the city

but the riffraff is still there so they gotta move in slow

one neighborhood at a time the gentlemen return
