Bus-riding, crumb-counting hand wringers Bibble-babbler, channel-flipper slogan slingers Keep the volume loud enough to drown out the machines That fill their cupped hands daily with excrement and dreams These are the ****** of the canon
Button-pushing, lever-pulling product users Wife-buying, tax-paying alcohol abusers Emasculated monkeys done up in black and white Clock in in the morning and flock home late at night These are the ****** of the canon
Train-conducting, ring-leading hand shakers String-fingered, queue-cutting, man makers Drive home, cursing, lonely, breaking bones beneath their wheels Without the time to diagnose that emptiness they feel These are the ****** of the canon
Written over the course of a week or so on walks to and back from work.
