Delivery!!
by J. P. DaviesWe, the middle-men
of planetary consumerism,
carry the feast to masses.
Who serenely devour
sugar-sweet appearances,
like too many maggots sucking
from too small a wound.
In our world there is no room
for failure or maladroit.
We must impeccably present,
in pristine and immaculate condition,
the very fruits of their desire.
Or bleed ourselves in the attempt. 09/08/2004 Posted on 09/09/2004

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 09/09/04 at 02:21 AM Refreshingly different expression Jordan. Nicely covers one of my favorite topics...planetary consumerism, which seems to go hand in hand with poems covering the way we're poisoning the planet, and thus ourselves. |
