"And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee." -Exodus 25:21.
These are the happy ones.
They live and breathe and move
just move
from box to box
forever.
Happiness is a new box.
Happiness is a cigar called -
WHILE STOCKS LAST!
Happiness is oblivion.
Grey-faced, screen-fed.
Garbage in, garbage out.
A steady stream of shit
in Technicolor.
Inside the box is where
we live and move and
have our being.
"Here. This is your box,
sir."
"No, there must be
some mistake. I -"
"This
is your box, sir."
This ceiling is unfamiliar.
This box has a screen.
No, that isn't what I mean,
what I mean is -
help me, let me -
what I mean to say
is that this box will be fine.
A year of posters,
sweat and stolen staples;
a year of junk
and still it isn't mine.
I left my soul in
another box -
a box I'll never find.
"Your box was crushed
like a sugar cube
to feed the poor
and starving children on our
streets.
Your Nazi tactics
will not work, Mr.
90623."
These are the happy ones -
count them as they
pass.
All flesh is
grass.
All citizens will watch
the "Pink Floyd"
concert tonight, channel
86259.
