Boy-Next-Door Types

by Christopher Barnes


                On cable networks

                Prisoners are superglued to peeled-raw cells.

                 

                Pollution crawls into HDMI

                A world’s end mutation of temperament

                On a true-to-type Wednesday,

                July-moistured.

                 

                We ramp a window

                With paddywhacking minds,

                Muzzle-loaders in track suit tops.

                 

                Postpositioning our cull

                We shuttle the complaisant bus

                Supernormally codified

                As humdrum commuters

                And debt-spending

                Treadmill consumers.
