the employment services brochure 
mentions no spaceships
6pks
bulletproof turtlenecks 
nor rice noodles.

i told you i wouldn't work for fascists.

i don't enjoy hearing them smack their tongues.
they steal your metro cards. starve you to death.
call you crazy & make sure you answer.

all the houses they build
the windows got that steel lace that puts
metal splinters deep
in the crotch of your fingers
if you try to run

try to run.

you gon hear
a soundtrack of elvish,
tugging your wrists from behind
as if they caught you,
johnson-out / wide-open
at the winter white house
homegrown menace
crying for a suck & a beer

try to run
you home.
