repeat.


       let it begin:

five-thirty, wake up

       go to work

clock in, seven-thirty

     “how're you?

paper or plastic? have

      a nice day.”

go home at six-thirty

      watch the

news on the old TV

      another fat

cat CEO made a

   forty million dollar

bonus when his

    company was bailed

 out with your

   hard-earned tax

money

      & you don't

bat an eye.  please

      continue on with

your normal routine.

repeat & repeat.
