SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
Thus saith the comma-less yellow plastic bags
Fitted to the gasoline pumps of the nation
Where men are free from fuel and punctuation
Free not to take vaccines, wear masks, or vote
SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
The check is in the mail that does not come
Or maybe in a hijacked delivery truck
Silhouetted by a burning liquor store
Where dreams of lottery winnings go to die
SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
And there’s nothing left in the looted shops
(Let’s blame the teachers, Asians, and cops)
