I’m not amused,
I mused,
So much as I am used to this
Amusement cycle.
The news:
Another thousand pages
Restlessly perused,
Or abused,
For cheap escape,
Only to cycle back
To the Abuser’s platform,
And the abused crying out.
Is it useless
Or — if I am used —
Useful
To a malevolent end?
I’m confused,
Typically ambivalent.
Should I jump off now,
Or clamp down
And ride this thing?
