lyrics

The Apple Store

This fawning over thin things svelte, glowing, the hyper colour
real-world-beauty to flick at, what's the verb for that motion
moving things on a touch screen with your fingers?

The shimmering mirage in this temple to the age of more and more
born by young hands dulled over the motherboards of this endless
consumption; shaving the aluminium off the edge of the apple logo
they strung suicide nets up after 9 jumps in the space of 3 months

Shenzhen
Guangdong province
north of Hong Kong
where

manufactured poverty assembles the fetish that
pretty young things can sling in a bag — so free, so easy
media making, spirit breaking, collapsing of the deep soul into a race
for new models Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett Packard and on and on
nausea and on and on and on:

93 million iphones
40 million ipads
38 million ipods
17 million computers

in one year

Here, bound in to long working hours and electrical hum
sales team techies are saying the same things over —
RAM memory processors

I can't tell you
this empty sorrow

the heavy drag for how the joy could be,
unfettered by this show of loss.
