They cut away what matters,
scissors, grinders,
they cut you
free
of
what
matters,
their machine
wants nothing of
families, fresh air, futurity,
so they cut you out,
cut a shape out
of you, they
pull you
apart,
they
put
you back
together in a shape
you can't remember,
so smile, they
say, smile
for
the
camera,
we're all together now.
