lyrics

DoorDash the basilica
off world
a gig economy of integers
wear the leather off Audio-Technicas
lint on a hard candy Papal Bull

decrees in a paystub
crinkled in coach shotgun
the story is of inventory
boilerplate bubbling English dubs

the fever of a history-less people
ridesharing their steeples
after millennia of market testing
pigeon-holed evils

if warp drive serves their reality without fiction
towards what will they escape
among stars and industrialism?

discrete functions between provincial stucco walls
so tastes the flavor of mid-century modern
Calvinist amber-cast Anglo

halos bent in orbital fractures
below a troposphere
the children’s internet service
does not pacify
glitches here

templates stricken from temples
and thus the metropole is phantom clear

opacity in a P.O. box
and couriers coordinate light years

the plot points tear transit
the holes are black
but the spackle is laminate
