striving and starving
squealing rats,
trapped in a cage
a calamitous cacophonous
a block of cheese
merchandise samples
on the lighted screen
...the first bite is free
divide the day from night
shift-change
by electric light
time becomes commodified
wage-slaves
scrub and scurry
looking for likes
on digital stages
rats in the algorithm
...trapped in a maze
