Allan Ginsburg is spinning in his grave:Howl of the Addicted

I saw the best collegues of my floor destroyed by coffee madness

stumbling, bleary eyed, in the dim hallways of dawn

craving, nervy office workers looking for a caffeine fix

that most indicitive of american appliances lays silent

cloudy mind, dulled senses, fumbling hands can't comprehend

they run screaming in pursuit of sanity

flooding the streets in search of a coffee bar

spilling loose change in exchange for the primordial drip

hip counter girls, counter culture girls, smirk caustic smiles

beautiful people in beautiful clothes drink lattes, cappacinos, americanos

tatooed, attituded, well fed starving artists spin mad hyperbole

long limbed x-ray women, tall, skinny, nonfat; prostating themselves before the altar

dark fingers reach up the spine and wrap around the brain

pulled, slipping into caffinated delirium

embargoed impluses throb, throb, throb unaware of the impending dawn

symptomatic, semantic mad poets ejaculate slanderous prose

the crazy beat of the city thrums, thrums, thrums

oblivious to the plight of the addicted

 

concrete elevated super highways convey elevated super people

diurnal latitudinal migrations burning daylight, sulphurous fossil fuel

missonary lifestyles numbed by epidural narcotic prescriptives

fault block thrusting along the subduction zone of the virtual empire

sedentary, sedimentary, metamorphic monuments erected by flaccid men

media in a vain search of purpose

dyslexic insomniacs take noctural strolls with their gods

lunatic hermits compose mad manifestos

lost on the information superhighway but unwilling to ASCII for directions
