CHRISTMAS POEM:
|
||
|
|
"I CAN HELP THE NEXT PERSON AT THIS REGISTER, PLEASE!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The mysteries of parallel parking,
|
||
|
|
Afternoon of a failed species.
|
||
|
|
Exhibit desires. See where it gets you. Hot-wired whole hog
|
||
|
|
Top down cruisin' on-the-fly choosin'
|
||
|
|
The right job for the tool. We don't work for ourselves,
|
||
|
|
We work for the economy. Feel it up just right
|
||
|
|
And generate some heat. And for the super-species
|
||
|
|
Of the late twentieth century: call him Mall-Man,
|
||
|
|
Watch him spend, he buffets the crowd with enormous shoulders
|
||
|
|
And pointy elbows, bench presses thrice his weight
|
||
|
|
In home electronics, lets the poor line up at the ATMs
|
||
|
|
Then makes them wait behind him at the check-out
|
||
|
|
While his plastic thrashes the mainframe,
|
||
|
|
So huge is his credit limit. No limits, no worries,
|
||
|
|
Never put off till Wednesday what you can put off till Thursday,
|
||
|
|
But this jerk has to be rung up now. Wrung out. Money is a verb.
|
||
|
|
Form follows funk. Something has to live in the suburbs.
|
||
|
|
For what good it does we feed it goods.
