lean back n’
close your
eyes---pretend
that no one is
around even if
someone is---
crack open yer
beverage of
choice pick it
up in your hand
ooh that plastic
perfection with
its slick rubber
buttons & dive
right into the
drama---you are
at the hilt of
western
civilization n’
where you are
smothering
yourself in
leisure &
complacence,
others in the
world are
struggling a
struggle that
you’ll never
know because
you’re bio-rents
chose to do the
nasty here,
instead of those
places that you
might only find
in quick-cut news
reports when
something we
want is jeopardized
for a split second
by something that
is actually needed
by those with less
than us---keep
clicking & maybe
just maybe you’ll
get an excerpt
regarding anything
like this, perhaps,
if they have a lil’
bit of garbage time
which they can’t
fill.
