I Will Obey
“I WILL OBEY”
stack the legos
make the towers
bury the money
build the server
send the message
the dandelion’s on fire.
tonight,
the code goes out
the message is clear
the message is coded
the megaphones were charged.
walk the blueprint of my home
listen to the frying pan cry
the due date on the digital
service bill is late but they
gave the world an extra day.
his voice follows
her voice carries
the world’s bloodsuckers
require new poison
the moon asks for the sun
the sun asks for an eviction
step after step
the coded messages reiterate.
time laughs as we forget
to breathe
resistance is pointless
and yet,
resistance is doubled.
tonight,
my ears have no conscience
they’ve made their own decision
jail stripes make love to the ball and chain
toupees move with agitation.
we’re all headed toward the same e n d.
