shoulder-slung ipad
the child
looks like
a starfleet trainee
to me
~
i used
to chase
fairy liquid bubbles around the no-fi kitchen
with its
split-level stove
corner cubby
&
under-stair pantry
~
three channels
broadcasting
from lunchtime
night time
closedown
anthems
on the
bulbous
twist-knob
tv
bus drones / ipad headplugs in
dwarf the plastic seats
with
KFC gut spill
minds on tech / neu metal
and
stashed porn on encoded hard drives
others / old
natter and chatter and blab
like
mindless
museum
clockwork / dried up seed
in
underpant folds
others / young / lives begining / earning / working
are
not
YET
defeated - will forget this bus horror
once
they
got
a hatchback and a license - freedom
before
breeding
ALL wondering where next to splurge
their
distraction nugget-coins / a gifted pat-on-the-back
for
expected / accepted
lifelong
beige
compliance
