Mythomania

lunch time clatter
they all line up like cattle
oblivious to scenery
ominous and seething
foaming at the corners
rustling like tumbleweeds
determined not to cry
rain or shine apocalypse
listening to dead air
weighing in on opinion
sports and cars and women
wine men and politico jargon
opening minds with corkscrews
fucking popular speculation
like science and religion
under the breezeway of causality
effect and cause and newton's laws
aisle and rows of endless hedges
betting men and saucey wenches
ketchup and mustard on rorschach tests
spooning bullshit cut with dull knives
discussing an ending to our distant lives
