Best Mass Produced Poems

(based on Aldous Huxley's book "Brave New World")

Human hatchery

Clink clink clink clink...
Test tubes prattling past
along the chrome plated production line.
Glistening under fake fluorescence
humming in harmony
with the magnetic motors
of conveyors, centrifuges and camshafts.
Biological blobs of gamete goo,
vials of vile biology,
a tempest of sperm and ova,
neatly confined...

Living my life on the Dole*, 
Because my Mum told me so, 
Interview at ‘McDonalds’, but that Tyrant told me "No!", 
See, we're a family with pride, 
Don't sell fries at super-size, 
But where's the pride, 
If I can't provide, 
For my own style of...

Valentine, shmalentine
Chocolate adds to her behind
Sugar doesn't make her sweeter
It costs a fortune tryin' to feed 'er

Jewelry, shmewelry 
Better think twice
It's mass produced
And overpriced

Cupid, shmupid
You know that's fake
Angels don't shoot arrows
Give me a break!

"Supernature"

The walls have eyes here 
they are all hungry
they reach up to pluck words 
like apples to eat from sacred trees,
it feeds and fuels them 
on their irregular journeys
through their pleasing dappled gardens,
gone all dark, forests and woods jaded green,
into their long nights they darkly...

Did your mother ever tell you,
Did you know?
(Some of us have a penchant for the inscrutable)
Did, your mother ever tell you
(These bonds are primordial and immutable)
In one of those intimate conversations
Between mother and child
(Mostly wasted on superficiality of dopamine significance)
About your origin and your age?
(Neither...

The difference between 
bad-old-boy 
competitively evolving 
egg white privilege

And good-girl 
cooperatively revolutionary 
just-us-yolks

Foreshadows a symbiotic contrast
between prophetic performance
and messianic practice,
said Professor Glory
in her Gospel of Permaculture class,
one Friday morning
while sitting on her crass 
desk of Primal Relationship Theory.

What could this dipolarity possibly mean?
between patriarchal prophets...

Reducing sauces is a clever act that is not predetermined

Swimming in tepid waters often relieves tensions but a moose with a migraine prefers an ice cold bath. Bathing rituals signify statuses and this is referred to 'Tatankinatta' in the elusive world. Exclusively it is the...

I overinvested again...
The story of my life
Or so it seems
Overinvested

I've overinvested

In my dreams….
Thinking I’d reach the stars
When I can’t break through 
The atmosphere of my world

In my friends….
Thinking that they ARE my world
When they are sometimes just islands
Inaccessible to me

In my wisdom….
Thinking I can discern...

Suppose we ran it by a friendly Martian
(I’d say “by Martial”, but he wouldn’t be gentle).
You crave Armani, Hugo Boss, Versacci and
that Hilfiger who’s naff, naff.  Are you mental?

This myth of exclusivity’s juvenile
(I’d offer “Juvenal”, but you’d refuse).
They’re mass-produced, ubiquitous, stock-piled,
your Sarah Jessica Parkas,...

Sunshine grows men on ropes
Similar with metaphors and similes
And cold plastic smiles.
Slim, shiny, at first slimy, Then…
Then mass produced body index
Fat and hypertension deficit syndrome-o-matic.
Failure due to faulty, underfunded, cheap union labor parts.
Broken and glued 
taped back 
to the semi-flaccid meat bag’s parts 
Ad nauseam,...

Heredity
The lamp that hangs from the ceiling 
is made locally, one of a kind, and
it shines bright.
On the wall hangs its shadow, as shadows go 
it is strong and has many details.
The shadow too has a shadow, a bit to the left,
this one is shifty...

I'm too able bodied to be this poor,
too intelligent to ignore, 
the establishment 
f$cking us over anymore. 
Why's the working class
the poorer class?
And who does the more 
important tasks?
For profit everything; 
everyday swindling; 
minimum wage 
that doesn't pay
for the necessities...  
Reassess your priorities 
as...
