poem of the day 03.07.16

03/06/2016

the people
have perfected themselves
into a wondrous
monotony
thin scarves
and coffee cups
smoothie sucking
in the sun
mechanical jubilations
coming from out
of sports bars
dog walker methane blues
a weekend repetition
playing out
on every block
swinging the wine bottle
i serpentine
a row of american flags
pass diners in an english pantry
writing cell phone novels
over their cold food
look into the grocery store
at the conveyors
of junk food
for conspicuous consumption
watch the cashiers
bag flavored
potato chips
tubs of ice cream
soda by the case
stealing debit card numbers
from frowning fat customers
so that they too
can have a small slice
of this
plastic
suffocating
sunny
american
daydream
