RAT RACE BLUES
Bell Canada lady asks: No work today? Big Sister
1984 This call is being monitored for your sanity
Yes home today a writer so lots of time for Bell+Rogers
And a dip into call centre dystopia where there never
was an Arab Spring +GiGi Gryce streams endlessly
Dizzy Thelonius +Max banned Photos of Louis prohibited
The man’s smile could start a revolution Instead drones monitor
us endlessly Our phone centre whisperings muted cries for HELP
Today it is a blistering 34 celsius hottest day in local history Barack
is in Addis Ababa +will move his worn smile to Chicago come 2017
Bell Canada lady: Save Us From Mike Huckabee whose oven-rhetoric
(there is a boldness +clarity to it Mike protests) is an affront to common
decency It brings to mind Hellboy: Regaliceratops peterhewsi a species
of dinosaur with a large mouth + tiny horns
