The grand themes

The grand themes 

Oh, the grand themes -
they’re all grand themes
about capitalism and Adam’s curse.
I don’t know which is worse -
reading poetry on grand themes,
or the heat death of the universe.

Give me Saturday’s green island dreams 
about dinosaurs, and an audiobook on Musk.
Let the great expostulate on their great themes schemes,
from tech bros to Trump, and Donald Tusk.
I am happy to be bran, the merest husk
of greatness. It’s been a long day, I’m tired,
and it’s nearly dusk.

S2 is fun. S1 misses me because despite immediately announcing itself as cheeky/flippant/sarcastic - the theme is "boring shit people write about" - the language is actually pretty boring. So that doesn't strike me as particularly clever, and I feel the project of the poem is "look, this is clever," so then I'm just kind of miffed.
