Legacy






Legacies
Trophies


It's for the museums of
The drive-thru Windows

It's for the Greyhound stations
Of Diplomatic dysentery

And The big macs of haute
Nordic reindeery cuisine

The megapolis discount malls'
Food court trays and disposable forks

Coupons, check out lines, weight loss plans, glossy celebrity news, eye glass repair kits

Microwaved life
Hurried to be
Hurried

Last train out
Of metro west,
But your headed east

All the time
Parking lots filled
With concrete curbs,
Guardrail me from west
cosmopolitan Sludge

It's the next best thing
It's sliced American cheese
Wrapped around the telephone pole

It's for the foam stained
Microphone
Of pop culture

It's the neighborhoods
that have
No voice
No contract, no monthly plan,

Simply pay as you
Go
