SHELL

tis hell
wrapped tight
no one can tell

they own our cars
they own our streets,
they hang who they want
most indiscreet.

they love it in florida
they love it in Bern,
they love it when we're old,
they love it when we're spitting sperm.

they own Marlins and dolphin teams
we wear their levi jeans.

they fund our films
they spike our drugs,
we love to fight'em--
yet who owns our gloves?

Aliens, outriders of the black firmanent
come save us from our Shells,
be you pinguid, metal,  or cosmic lament.
