Instant flexing
Don't like
Flex*reology
Don't like the profs
It's reflexology
Don't like Mothers
Plenty of lines
Reflexology
So, we're all
Ever use 'em on yourself?
I'm curious
of reactionary
muscle:
the message from
young people
in the streets?
Those who dare
question
the branding
of their souls?
dismiss them
as vile rabble--
they're all disturbed,
going nowhere
(but maybe
farther than you)
valorize instead
XBox solipsists
the next generations
of rebel consumers
already in line
deflect reality
detect and distort
infect and correct
Reflexology
in their ivory towers?
Out them on a List
without offering
context or gist
we've seen it before
HUAC doesn't hold
a candle to FOX's
nightly bonfire
selective reality
convenient morality
old bait-and-switch
been done before
flex*reology
marching against guns?
Dismiss them
as unbecoming
Tell them to follow
the first lady's
Stepfordesque
refinement, and please
get back in line
someone will
be with you,
momentarily
to choose from
nightly TV
perp walks form
long links
of despair...
Clang of chains
never reaches
rarefied air...
What's My Line?
I see you
you don't
see me
flex*reology
hopelessly naive
by giving a damn
about the air
we breath
for thinking long-term
about who foots the bill?
about what we export?
about who we might kill?
those omniscient powers
on your views?
your conscience--
or what's left of it?
Can you break
through the bars
of your ideology?
Or are we
in for
more sneering?
I'd like to hear
your definition
of evil
I'd like to think
it's not so facile.
