Round up round up
point 60
Time is 60
and 60 is from now
Till time runs out
And the knob is switched to 40
Switch switch stitch:
My pants go from the washer.
Plastic’s on the crumble
Soapsgone
And the lovely girls who scrubbed our clothes are gone.
Now we spit groundwater down a box
And churn filthy rags
Till brainslikepruneslike virgin fingers do
Set too long in solution.
6 time is 4 time is wage time.
Join the one big union!
It waits clear, conceived in sheets of farble
Draped down portholes
And sheaved in white appliance.
Behind door one two three:
Convenience
TV meanness
Isleislefreshness
Your door, NUMBER 4,
Has not so much inside;
Your cook machine,
Your watch and clean,
AC ISP.
Soon we’ll find our structure stuck like towers of cold aluminum
Where fireproof furniture can’t break windows
And the screen behind my mirror tells me all the things I told myself
behind a mirror once.
“You display the symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency.”
So take your breakfast down
before dash pinch sitdown--
eat it up eat it up.
Then bark news,
fuck,
and done begins again.
