The Industrial Revolution Finally Expresses Itself

thank god
your car screams
when you set off the alarm
from outside it

grey shadows chase in its intestines
dreams of wrought iron cough out of its grillwork
agony propels behind its blinded headlights

unlike blood
unlike phlegm
unlike flesh that knows to feed itself

this is metal
we use
to transport ourselves

that needs a kick
from outside
in order to say anything at all

from Twisted History (1999)

Wall Street

get get get     yi! yi!
get get     want want
now     now     now     now
buy buy buy buy
sell sell sell sell
adding machine     adding machine
yi! yi! yi! yi!
yoop yoop yoop yoop
buy buy buy buy
sell sell sell sell
yoop yoop yoop yoop
yi! yi! yi! yi!

put up the wall
don't let the deer
don't let the antelope in
