You are a crushed can of cola
With hard edges
Points that could scrape my freckled back
the way mother does after another failed attempt
To fall in love
You are a crushed can of cola
Pointy and edged and empty
We must blend into the choir
Sing as static with the whole.
We must memorize nine numbers and Deny we have a soul.
And in this endless race for property and Privilege to be won.
We must run, we must run, we must run.
