It's one-sixteen out
the cars are starting to melt

people walk into the supermarket
AC takes you down by a power of ten

there's nothing to be said about
the wealth of goods on the shelf

hunter gatherers  couldn't imagine how
four corners of the world could get so bent

coffee from Colombia 
beef from Japan

paper towel from the Amazon 
corn from the heartland 

all go into the cart
of people very well-fed

living inside of luxury boxes
behind iron fences

I get their animal natures 
I see how they're scared

making political choices from 
reptile parts of their brains
