'With Vaporwave', 2021 Poem by S. Rashad

Saber of Starbae slaying
models of Phillip Jackson
As a bullet through a Roman rose
Occult bots in my closet for clothes
As I dare not to please you
If people can't convince you
They may attempt to confuse you
Loss is inevitable
Careful what you lose yourself to
or careful on what
You allow oneself to be lost in
All these people out here bossed up
with a foresight fogged in
No stones of judgement here
Once called on and called in
After the drinking from two cups
On the corner of Human & Rights
In a nation of fronting;
like private Instagram tears
doing so well in life--

I saw Diet Pepsi Crystal tears
Find your way back to yourself
The turbulence of chaos
will force you to own your strength
My heart remained hyper-specific
My eyes held vaporfashion
until they were no more
So much for surrealist engagement
But to corrupt corporate mood music
is to do very well with the Ace, Irv
The growth of chillwave all in yo face:
Sporting Japanese lettering
with a pedestal of itself in place.
You can pick your poison
tho never able to be picky
On what should be buried alive

That criticizes mass appeal

Behold the imperial helmet distorted
Homer Simpson's crisis adding up
Desert roads by Agatha
Deep Love Purple
The nerve of palm tree edges
maintaining Darth Vader's shimmer
MTV all for Spongebob yellow
Inner child healed in meditations,
along with blanket and pillow
I'm a mystery personified
They're Hustle Culture glamorized
I don't believe we should mix. ¥€$
Under the pink sunset
resources of devil energy lit up
As we rehashed everything FILA
with attempts to download love

Don't ever drown in a mall fountain
This ocean is etheric
And the world will never
go back to the way it was.
