Unmapped; Static Between Stations by McLord Selasi
The radio mutters in the corner,
half-songs, broken sermons,
voices slipping through static
like ghosts rehearsing for an audience. [...]

Somewhere along the line I forgot how to cry.
Now I carry grief in molecules of text messages,
tucked between timestamps and read receipts,
ghosts of words I never sent
humming through my phone at night.

Outside the rusty cathedral is a restless cat. I feigned blindness when it cast it's glances towards me. This is exactly what we do when we see a cancer in society that needs to be removed. We do not act. Today, I feigned blindness, tomorrow you'll feign ignorance. Aren't we some immoral cowards?

Poets deserve real recognition, not pay-to-play competitions. That’s why I’m launching #TheBrokenSpinePoetryAward. But without £5,000, it won’t happen. Help fund a fee-free award with real prizes. Donate & share. 🔗 shorturl.at/G2mMo

It's not that I enjoy researching, I think I'm just too curious. Maybe it's a neurodivergent thing. Spent half of the day gathering on something I saw off Tiktok😭

I found a piece of gold last night
but by the morning, it was coal.
Funny how angels keep me away
From things that shine, but steal the soul.

When I see a people pleaser put other people first and show signs of resentment, I know what's about to go down

Social/societal programming is real! Until you're able to take a step back and be self-conscious, you'll only get as far as the brainwashed masses.
