Two hours into
The first shift, and you
Have already learned.
[Head up, smile!
Head down, follow.]
A rhythm of Submission,
The clatterclank of capitalist desires.
[Head up, smile!
Head down, follow.]
Paper or plastic?
The words blend together,
Although they sometimes they speak-
A patient at the hospital...
...Goes to school with my son, and...
it just costs too much!
-useless words about their lives.
[Head up, smile!
Head down, follow.]
Did you find everything alright?
[Shy smile, bat eyelashes]
Yessir, would you like
Paper or plastic?
[Head up, smile!
Head down, follow]
Clatterclank capitalism,
a rhythm of Submission.
