song of the suburbs

Post by mnaz »

i live in a big box temple
of monoculture and mayo tubs
flat screens with dvd explosions
shot inside pentagon soundstages
defend yourself, they will come!
the huns, guns and microphones
the evil shape-shift caliphs with
scorpion heads and a god of wrath

i live on a pavement ocean
in a huge steely mammoth with a
ten-foot grille like dinosaur teeth
the suburbs are blacktop religions
with stripes painted on your ass
consumers staring at screens
jumpy shadows on a wall
let me at those ghosts
