grinding metal corporate teeth

unfulfilled desires - bob plainwilder poetry

way down deep in dinjyville
waitin for a train
stumblebum plinkin phone
beneath monster office tower

people stuck in mires
worlds away from real fulfillment
in the maelstrom of each day

everywheres another cranky
smart device encrusted soul
sinkin down into some hole
nuthin much to say

bleary eyed and far away
disappointed also

danglin’ off this hapless joe
grinding metal corporate teeth
that don’t let go
