critical theorist
critical of practice
critically practicing theoretical thought of
tautological angles or paradoxicalities
on how to be defrocking angelic bends

critical cook
critical of ingredients
cringingly critiquing clientele
and groping bus boys ‘cause no one will tell
and their deadly silence is golden

critical autonomous
-weapon manufacturer
critically self-aware of collaterality
considering diversifying ‘n’ circular economics
critically handpicking raw materials

critical sociopath wannabes
critically of who to pick on
or how to measure greediness
critiquing their affect on well-being of others
and which cleaning product
is not eco-friendly

criticality confused
with sarcasm and bitterness
anti-flowerpower analysis
or happy-happy-joy-joy engine grease
with a flair of matchmaking
contradiction into ambiguity

critically compassionate
digitally on-off warped mirrors
disembodied bit-sized conserving
automated critical friend of pasts

“smile,” said the autonomous jester,
“you’re on candid camera!”
winking seriousness entwined caring
for another day
