Two Poems
by Austin Miles


instrumentalizing bullshit

shut the fuck up
about engagement metrics

look @ an arm
if it has fingers

@ riverside park
a man on a nearby bench
smokes, unrelatedly

not an answer
not an answer


no savings concerns or time issues

ignominious ending on
C. River

the attack ads went:
law n’ order

cdn’t care less

indecipherable
sorry for my child’s behavior

no kink cld gainsay
+ the scene, u realized

was just an amalgam
of other scenes

so fake + so tan
but so drinkable

+ you too’ve
got drinkability
