[分享] Edward Hirsch, Liberty Brass

[spacedunce5 (CJ)]

I was sitting across from the rotating sign
For the Liberty Brass Turning Company

"Automatic Screw Machine Products"

And brooding about our fathers
Always on the make to make more money

"Screw Machine Products Automatic"

Tender wounded brassy unsystematic
Free American men obsessing about margins

"Machine Products Automatic Screw"

Selling every day of their God-damned lives
To some Liberty Brass Turning Company

"Products Automatic Screw Machine"

Until they were screwed into boxes
And planted in plots paid and unpaid

"Automatic Screw Machine Products"
