Lawrence Hall, HSG
Sailing a Couch into
History
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our
destiny, but what we put into it is ours.
-Dag Hammarskjold, Markings, p. 51
Through eating, fatting, sleeping, video games
En couchant in a stasis ossified
By the low expectations of the zeitgeist
(“What’s a zeitgeist?”) some flail into history
The ironic echoes of Call of Duty
Flatten against an empty ‘tater-chip bag
Yesterday flung into the baby’s crib
(“Ain’t no one seen little Shawnee today?”)
His MePhone case is manly hunter green
He's checkin’ out the fantasies on a glowing screen
