Touch the graphic
Seal your fate
Silicon and plastic
The food on your plate

Art and logic
Disintegrate
Faith in the object
Will soon dissipate

The cold hand of the clerk
Snaps your reverie and your spine
With institutionalese

Grasp the meaning
Genuflect
Before what is gleaming
The suits won't object

The obsequious functionary
Cross references your life
With infinite patience and care
