By Ben Mirov
If you work at a steady rate
you may reach the river by nightfall
and if you have the will
a canoe will be waiting
by the ash factory
for you to take upstream
to the takoyaki shack
where you can eat delicious food
and drink as much beer as you like
until late into the night.
In other words you have
your whole life ahead of you
and no one can tell you
what to do or how to act
or what to say or anything
said the machine in the wall
before dispensing my receipt
in a tiny wadded ball.
