Lie Eater

a poem

he talks with memes
sending emojis and gifs
in between conversation

reading the news
in snippets
on the varied feeds

in the comments
on a streamer
he argues with strangers

about specific scenes
in the never aired
'real' ending to Stranger Things

unsatisfied
with who did or did not
die

and he is happy
he thinks so
and says it on his blog

he talks to himself
but wears earbuds
to cover up 

in the 90s he was shunned
because he talked to animals
and made running commentary

now he is a millionaire
in his mom's basement
and he knows more than you

about everything
because it is at his fingertips
and it is never wrong

the talking heads
are saying the same things
about the things they always say

and he is nodding along
like a groove heavy slow jam
from 1995

it was a very good year
for slow jamz
but he thinks AI can do it better

and then it all turns
on a subreddit dedicated to Lisa Lopez
he discover Red Light Special

and he turns a corner
and starts watching another channel
and reading different feeds

and begins to think that 
everything he thought before
was wrong

so he talks with different memes
sending emojis and gifs
in between conversation

reading different news
in snippets
on the new feeds

in the comments
on a streamer
he argues with strangers

about different scenes
in the never aired
'real' ending to Stranger Things

and he is happy
he thinks so
and says it on his blog
