Neon street walkers roam

the high village, green parrots

nap on high voltage

 

Someone’s getting a new washer

and dryer; old tv and bball net

left for recycling across the street

 

Trash collectors, painters

Landscapists, trail builders

All wear neon too

 

–Someone said TV would produce one hundred million idiots.

–Is that so? What does that mean?

–It means all Japanese will become idiots.

–That would be pretty terrible. But what does it really mean?
