mush-chines
CEE
I dunno... ...I know
I keep making this point, but
Watching the cavedude
Beat the shit out of the
21st Century convenience
Instills a certain pride,
I certainly wouldn’t want to
Live near the cavedude
I think there are programs
For relocating him
Or, isn’t there subsidized housing?
Something?
He’s useful, though—he’s a hero
I like seeing anything past
Air conditioners, answering machines
Or CD players
Rendered Margeaux Hemingway-helpless,
Jigsaw puzzle of changing Man
Crushed
The way I’d crush a cockroach
Or you would
Unless your high ideals live in filth
Like the cavedude
Fine, o black glove, roll those dice
Ordinances are only The Law
And only a phone call away
Land line, of course
