The Hi-tech Seaside Ratrace
Tearing out fenceposts and chopping down billboards
Overturning gas pumps and upsetting microwaves
Throwing down cell androids and smashing new iPhones
Dreaming again, I awake feeling refreshed
………
The president is to address the nation
Mass media picks up the proper sound bites
His makeup is good and his tie is correct
Well he delivers those choice words of others
………
Fierce Renaissance corporate Amazon
Hard-driving executrix /Slash/ loving mother
Stalled in traffic with her electronic organizer
sips on her strong espresso thru a chiseled face
………
Feeling bottom, standing up, pitching over in a splintering
crash
Spuming wall of white water rolls
Vaporous hissing rush up the sand
Another swell has arrived
………
Making rapid progress towards goals as yet unspecified
Hypnotized by the grand illusion shared by the hive
Ever storing up even more saved up time
Constant acceleration towards eternal oblivion
………
Cypress lapping predawn fog
Sound of waves from left to right
Silence oozes through the background
Time to be ready to be free
………
Master of the universe in yet another silver BMW
Possessed of many exotic baubles he cannot understand or
afford
In an endless marketing loop of material-based
self-actualization
Considers the smog-encumbered sunset, stalled again on the
freeway
………
Snoring loud enough to wake us up
Deaf beyond alerting us
Farting and dream kicking the nights away
Dear old dogs, we love them so
