Breaking the Back |
on leaving school immersed in philanthropic notions |
(of a kind these days I find unthinkable) |
I pulled my frail frame onto my charger and rode off into a sunset |
with agenda predictable. |
fresh faced — young dumb and tragically convinced that |
blind faith could make an infantile, normative |
playground theory on social interaction |
positive enough to show them all, but alas! |
working the tills put hair on my chest, |
telesales made me a man! |
x2 |
and everything was going to be ok, but |
the making of the man was the breaking of the back upon the rock |
of everyday hostility. |
and I don’t mean to seem at all ungrateful, but |
the air-conditioned life has left me gasping for some real conversation. |
and just because |
turing couldn’t possibly conceive a machine with this little personality |
I’m working shifts in veal-fattening pens, |
and yet I’m puppy thin because to tell the truth I’ve been hanging on |
for something more than distant dial tones |
and a sense of ending. |
the breaking of the back was the making of the man x4. |
