Rational World (Written on a MacDonald's Napkin)

Choose your life from the menu
And join the queue.
This is Paradise,
And you are paying by the minute.

Do not disturb my clean safe world,
My perfect simulation.

I am hungry,make me full.
Now.
And no mistakes,
No surprises.

In the shopping mall
I walk through light and music:
Life sells life,
I want it all.

No time.
No emotion.
Press the button
And move on.

You buy,
You eat,
You toss the trash,
And run.

I pick up the phone,
Dial the number,
She speaks,
My pornographic robot,
Word-perfect.
“Sorry, tiger, but your dream girl has to go now…
Call right back and ask for me.”
