CRANES AND THEIR OPERATORS - for Sam Armstrong

this job is underestimated

crane operators have more power than
the Pope

the Pope can’t operate a crane

and neither can the money men
at BlackRock

so stop giving all your money to the Democratic Party
take that money and get all the crane operators
on the people’s payroll 

see if those fuckers
can build a penthouse without a crane 

we only build affordable housing now
us, and our league of benevolent crane operators

CLOCKING IN/CLOCKING OUT - for Gabriel Aguirre

I have one of those time clocks
at home 

and I clock in when I’m writing a poem
and clock out when I’m not 

no money in it 

no boss 

I just like making a fool out of that machine

Sebadoh - "Tree": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwl0-Ad0V4k

NEEDING TIME TO GRIEVE IN THE REDWOODS - for Carol Cash

Redwoods avoid cliches

that’s what I like about them best

words 
are meant to label things
and send them along 

in times of grief 
language can feel like an affront 

Redwoods hold out their arms 

that’s all

NORMIES LOVE EDM - for Zach Prosser

Normies love EDM
it said on the wall 
in black spray paint
I took out my can of red spray paint with the intention of adding 
“Because lyrics provoke thought. And thought slows the transfer of capital” 

but before I could, I was tased by a drone 

and the beat goes on
