Management Song
hang pig’s skull over conned
roads, polity of glass. what’s waste,
what’s work, the treatment plant’s
septage. I’m implicated in the tip, heap
of dusked cities: landfill: screen bicker:

earth-sick, potential in burnt tenements; we
working seethe eachself. safe planes
browsing bluescreen. elect to blue-sky
think: division
fault, non-maskable
interrupt. hoaxed
speech, our.
