JONATHON TODD

Livestream

An espresso and a few grapes later
I am communing with dead labor in the
Form of spectacular myths every purchase 
Imagines a future without time
Desire captured in the direction of profit
Every dream (every sleep) runs counter
To clocks or stasis.

Christ the end of transcendence
The constant irony of a refusal to cast
Sound against production
Property reimagined 
Which is why the middle class shits itself.

I’m beginning to believe in cycles
Chants and objects, fetish
Our desire is just another commodity.
I take short naps as a way to communicate
Indifference and awe.

God striking down the last capitalist
On live TV.
