lay-by

born to sit like this
for hours & days on end
watching
not approaching the computer
when the email gongs;

maybe just one more show
 about the galapagos
 about bigass bridges
 about the valleys of mars
 regurgitator
 about life coaching
 volcanic rifts
 darwin’s race problem
 about the singularity
 about ted bundy

these still young moral fingers
fear to type
& this work
this narrow work
needs doing by some sexless drone:

a sac of branded soil
4 laughs a day
occasional meals
tax deductible
an ergonomic throne
