Dystopia With Rubber
On duty at the Apocalypse Cafe
I find a pack of rubbers
in the loo.
No I don't; I pretend I do.
Finding goodies
from the bye-bye world
is just a sweet dream.
Sometimes it hurts
to remember but
sometimes it's worse
to forget.
Time is rubbery now,
days and nights bounce or stretch
depending on who walks in the door
or whether anyone does.
We got calypso on the jukebox!
We use one quarter
someone found.
The jukebox runs
on whatever we can burn.
So far anyway.
The air always smells
of burnt rubber, too.
I guess rubber's
the damn theme of my days
in this here Apocalypse Cafe.
We do bounce back
but only because
it's that or die,
and dying looks so hard to do.
It's some final stiff deal
struck mean and clean
with no wiggle room
for mind-changers,
no jiggle room for Jesus
neither, you're rubbed out.
Nothing rubbery in that.
So I guess this is
our only chance.
But hey, here we are!
Wanna dance?
RiverNotch, I love what you did. I was thinking about rubber plantations and doing something along those lines but TBH I am too lazy today, and glad to let others do some of the heavy lifting. So to speak.
