POEM FACTORY

Walk into the office steaming, sleek oily demon

Stroll into the treasonous boardroom, ignorant of honesty

Pigs prostrate at the trough of profits

Strange prayers offered in the prophetless open-air church of want

Product-hawking moguls parading college-aged odalisques

Swallow back what tastes like vomit

From last night’s tequila cointreau abominate

Slam my fist upon the onyx tabletop, demanding sonnets

I want them still press-hot, want them fast as Sonic.
