the future is soup

black and white
the knives and forks
in the universe of cutlery
as in the politics of the table top
the future is soup
and the spoon perverse

rationed nationality

rationed nationality
what rationality, does your rationality, expect from me, homey?
what rationality exists for me when your “black pain” rationality negates me,
and my “black pain” rationality irritates you, homey?
how shall we approach irrationality, then, national homey?

meat machine

there was no meat machine
metal gadgets
running steel gears,
precision grinding flesh mince
and tenderizing toughest meat,
for the production
at industrial level
of wisdom

mental widgets
intellectual instruments,
control cutting problem solution
and harmonizing contradictions
for the development
at public level
of love

there was no way, surely
not en mass, anyway, certainly
to foster such as commodity
to amass such as wealth
intangible currency

there is no way
to make tender souls
without breaking spirits
to make humanity
without touching man’s heart

or is there? hey, wait a minute..?
hold that thought...
