McDonalds and Social Welfare
chewing the inside of your mouth yesterday
three inhuman seconds
and his mouth meat bled
one bite stress induced
a soloist on the telephone
making obscene financial calls
scratching a flabby stomach
still held the phone
the woman a thousand fibers away
still howled
fiscal abuse
he had spoken off the script
probing her dollars
sliding inside her head
avoiding indignant sounds
her whole life on his computer screen
a random credit score
he had pushed to far
stench of cheap deodorant
dropping the phone
he ran
red nylon carpets flashed by
everybody watched
as outside the double doors
he vomited with blood
from his cheek
too afraid to return
walked towards
somewhere else
Turn The Soil
freedom is a ferment
of rhetoric rooted in
clotted earth,
turned by hand
and senate approval,
words grow
linguistic tangles of
law and statement,
a nation addressed,
trembling shoots
recover nutrition lost
leaves can only mottle
stagnant moments
of federal reserve
cacophony of calls
for it to be poured
to moisten
soak the soil
many hands upon the
handle,
few have strength,
resonant hearts
beat out
like drums across the
states,
voters in a patient wanting
after TV debate,
they had knowledge
a profound affect
on the effect of the nation,
red earth
blue sky
white stars,
imagine what you see
virtuous cloth
cannot hide
hunger and strife,
passed boarded fronts
and foreclosure sign,
to take a line
and show with mark
how life should be,
then wait
pollsters want your souls
but the nation needs your
heart,
give it life and think,
do not leave it to the
history of memory,
from fertile earth
comes life.
