A Non-existent Excerpt from “Trash Can Classics and Burn the Libraries: a book
of poems written by Chad Santos”

by Chad Santos [and Dean Santos] 

Poem #∞


Lo! The power of language! Watch me free-verse! 

A perversion, a saumer-sault, a mover, a shaker

A-ring-a-round-the-rosey, a post-feminist postmodernism:

A hands up, pants down—a la la land disuniformity:

An obscurity, a visionary! Profound! Pretentious!

Oh my god! I am illiterate! A finished product 

Of the education system! I am a consumer!

I know myself! I will own nothing and be happy!

The new norm! … the digital and the subscription!

The paywall, and capitalism! Aaron Swartz and heroism.

Only suckers pay for content: books, movies, and music. 

An education, visit z-library: hurawatch, pirate bay, and ad-blocker!

The public domain Yes! And identity and Walt Whitman:

O lord! O god! the answers now answered:

The tag reads: “made in China.”

A [fictional] explanation of the poem: Why did I write this? Well to answer your
question I must say this: I don’t know anything about flowers, or springtime, or
autumn, or nature, or history, or science. But I do know social media, YouTube,
the digital world, the cultureless culture, the quality of illiteracy I am
afflicted with, and the saying “anything goes because no one will pay the
slightest attention to you”—in other words I wear a tin foil hat and the aliens
are probing my brain...
