I’m a dumb rooster’s beak

I’m a dumb rooster’s beak
 pecking broken chunks of cheese
                             from every event
every moment is astonishment
                    and if I climb a roof
                 only left in the ruins
             you’ll see my people
          behind the sunlit bar
      but my next neigbhour
   who’s coming in
  is a thief and the new label
on the beer we serve
I’m engaging him before
this place is bombarded 
with that machine dogs
