The Unobserved Life in the New Fade

sometimes i think that the social dynamic
in the New Fade demands that everyone
be seen in some public capacity,
and that if they are not, if they are not
relevant in that sense, then they have no
chance to be heard; yes, in many ways
that's what it always was, but
it was supposed to be different now,
and the fact that it isn't suggests
that we've put an inordinate pressure
on all the developments that were
supposed to make it easier

i call that an irony
