Factory Worker

I was hand-welding hydraulic
cylinders when this bolt of
enlightenment happened to strike

why not film a ten minute
parody of Gladiator and
call it Factory Worker?

plot it around a supervisor
who becomes a peon who
challenges the plant manager
instead of "strength and honor"
employees chant "elbows and assholes"

I'd film it with my girlfriend's
camcorder and submit it to
Atomfilm.com where it would
be lauded, landing me a
lucrative deal with Dreamworks

after writing a quick treatment
I gathered a cast of
co-workers and set out to
videotape my magnum opus

the second shot, I overbalanced
and dropped the camcorder off
the overhead crane

funding fell apart soon after
the broken video camera being
the proverbial straw that
bounced me back to the single's
scene where even now I search
for potential investors




so, it's three o'clock in the morning

and I'm sitting in front of the
computer with my dick in hand
five feet away my wife sleeps

at least I hope she's asleep

I'm in a private room
of some internet game site
playing spades with WASPUSS
except we're not playing
WASPUSS is telling me how
she'd like me to cram my
huge cock into her mouth

at least I hope WASPUSS is a she
kinda like she hopes my cock is huge

it's almost poetry--
telling her how I'd like
to run my tongue up and
down her
p
u
s
s
y

converting to e e cummings
to thwart the computer's
puritanical censorship

it doesn't occur to me
until after getting off
that what I'm doing might
be considered strange

then I think... maybe I
gave her too much information
maybe even now she's searching
the web for a Guntersville
telephone book
so she can give me a call
and break up my marriage
sending my life spiralling into chaos

surely normal people don't
have these fucking problems
