these
processes
[mis]calculations
estimations
hypotheses
conclusions
are nothing more than
manufactured solutions
genetically engineered outcomes
to text book problems.
i'm heat proofed
and twirled in bubble wrap
sealed for your satisfaction
and i'm waiting
in aisle five
for you
for the next desperate soul
to throw me nonchalantly in the cart
brimming with chemical warfare
and to settle me safely
between the pills and liquid leisure...
we all have
our commodities
and i am
just another
indulgence
