Too Night

Inspired by Frank O'Hara's poem 'Today,' I decided to emulate the style but take the opposite thematic approach:

Too Night

Oh! spiders, needles, calorific big macs!
You each are venom! Arrowheads,
grinding guitars,
butter-soaked kernels,
antipsychotics! all
the details never spoken

still drive art to our demise!
These things are with us every day
even in castles and cafes. They
do embody ennui. They’re delicious as deadly.
