Shopping bags, crinkly, plasticy
Pouring down the umbilical cords
Ingenious man-made polymers
To hug and embrace
Our McSistence
New shoes, new hair, new dress
Tapping away at your console
Relentless consumer ideals realised
To entice and justify
Your McSistence
Deep-fried, grilled, pressure-cooked
Pushing beyond the metabolic norm
Opportunist capitalization of laziness
To baste and glaze
Our McSistence
Bright, sparkly, neon-bright
Inserting twinkles in your eye
Jolly network of mass-communication
To reassert and reinvent
McSistence!
Author's Notes/Comments:
An excerpt from today's edition of the "Southland Diaries" (Wed 14/07), which I guess is now 'day 9'. Gawd, I have so much catching up to do with my typing...
What is this McSistence? If I knew, maybe I would understand this poem that seems very interesting.
