Joe’s First Day


 

Great.
The microwave doesn’t work
and we just bought it.
We took a vote and decided
it was the best option, it has a certain
adjustability, according to the manual.

We demand
The sky be blue
and the sea so green.

The white, white paint drools down the side
and makes us look like idiots
Who would buy this?

There were those radicals who yelled about
radiation and its effect on the unborn

The microwave device had no say in this
of course, it was sterile and blameless
It was those who put it together –
nameless, lurking at the bar after work.
And it’s always someone’s first day.
