i love phillip marlowe
jacket off
feet up on his desk
slapping his palm
with a letter openner
looking over
at the latest
walk in client
as she recrosses her legs .....
==========================================
we all
really
don't want to be
just
" the continental op"
some guy
working for an agency
getting
ordered about
from one cuff up
to another
so since we mostly are
secret dreamers
reveling in
my own shop some day
virtual realities
what else
could ya expect
we go to work
every day
for pinkertton brothers
cloudy headed
but docile
cause
we keep alive
the dream-ream
of marlowizing ourselves
"down the road"
-------------------------------------
needless to say
this opiate
of the asses
works
for "the man"
just fine
in fact so fine
on occasion
if its worth it to him
he'll go you
one better
and rig up
an extra special
just for you
simulated
personal
say no more
you AM
your own man
very original
and unique
ULTRA private
stew pot dome
to cook crepe and crap in
for his
and hiz ilks
B to B
delectations
get it?
maybe el profito grande
has an angle ....
presto chango
exit
" mr staff infection"
enter
" free klass double x Ranger "
------------------------------------------
to me
the ever so
pinky p
where thiz whole
free class thing
gets fucked
is
the 5 out of 7 shot
" bad trip"
waitin for
most of ya
out there
once yer all alone
makin it all up direct
for the market
--------------------------------------------------
" whats an honest man's freedom
amount tothese dayz ?
well kidz
nothin
nope
its just
some other guys
useful illusion
if he can keep you workin
by sponsoring your dreams come true
he will
welcome to america
where
our yeomanship's
lost illusions
are nothin more then a mirage
on the ever retreating horizon
aahh what money there is for a few big shotz
in the illusions
of lost yeomanship"
fred allen 1947
===============================================
hey if you're
"on contract"
guess what
free bean
you're really
just eating
your own nut
---------------------------------------
you still gotta sell yourself
thru your "services'
still gotta
to be a solitary soul
proffered
and bought
over and over
its all
"at your own risk"
no fall back
only the chance
of a hideous fall forward
face first
and then its straight
back
into a staff-assed
bent over position
" ok bob
why don't ya
wipe the egg off
REPORT IN HERE TOMORROW
AND
RE-assume the job position "
-------------------------
HISTORY LESSONS UNLEARNED
we all know
old tall red headed and wise
thomas Jefferson's
notion of a republic
was built primarily
out of yeoman
right?
guess what
Jeff
didn't have u types
in mind
he
was writing about
a klass
with a natural independence
a klass who's way of life
was firmly based on
a fall back
household self sufficiency
"need"
for outside products existed
sure
and sure that
ment
a need for cash crop(s)
but unlike youzzles
they produced
uniform outputs
product(s)
fully commoditzed
" wheats wheat milks milk
take it or leave it pal "
nature's stuff
no need
for shopkeeperish
commercial servility
no need
pitch puffery
"closer" chicanary
the lewd jig saw
just this side
of fraud
no fucking
nail biting
no collecting
payment
or
anguished jittery
wails
of "whither my customers"
no need of any
slobbering
coin counts
all that mraket hugger mugger
fuck it
need a boost
go out the farm house door
and watch
one's own
crops and critters
prospering
in the fresh air
in a gentle breeze
under a golden sunlight
