Poetry
Three
Easily
The models
in the Gentlemen's Club ad
are posed
with pink mouths slack,
eyes narrowed
to slits.
Show me stunned resentment -
the way
the world absorbs
an insult
it won't easily
forget
Normal
Intelligence is distributed.
Greed is an emergent property.
My survival instincts are a normal
form of momentum.
I don't feel bad
about crushing others
to achieve my goals.
Goals are an emergent property.
Others are distributed.

Strictly speaking,
"istic"
*
As you know, emptiness
aches.
It also burns
so that for eons
light
is orphaned
and extant
