babbling inanely,
an orangutan reaches climax
towards the front of the room.

jelly legs ramshackle shake
as nervous beats,
intact,
loom.

a rush of anxiety
bucket loads
& barrels like a
freight train in zoom

a watchful gathering,
peerless & alert
means certain doom.

delirious quips from
an overweight ponce

mad men drape
sweater vests with
blackberry thoughts

stuffy neck ties &
algorithm's lost

translate

timid glances from
million dollar robots

the individual exposed-
longing for a specific niche

rat-a-tat rhythm
lingers,
like a niggling itch.
