No one should have to work in temperatures
I think as Jeff Bezos recites the labor
theory of value on his way to space.
There is almost no temperature in space
so I should revise that; no one should
have to. Should is an easy place to get
robbed; you put all your desire there
& walk away. Come back the next
day & you’ve been conscripted into
a moon colony for overachieving
oligarchs, laying out the charcuterie
in their interstellar lair, passing
hor d’oeuvres on a tray made of
the title to your landlord’s home,
slinging gin & tonics to super
rich septuagenarians as Jeff
rings his fork against his flute and
says “I just want to thank every
Amazon employee for paying for
all of this.”
