"tools"

what tools do we have
to reinvent the world?

the architect in me has
the drawing board
the poet in me has
Microsoft Word 7

but countless others have
dire sweatshop workers with faltering fingers
itchy missiles with nuclear yellow teeth smiles
glowing televisions with hypnotic hums
platoons of political propaganda
battalions of blistering business deals and business ends
bombs bombs bombs
slave slave slave
media-clip media-clip media-clip

good thing
i watched Lord of the Rings
last night

i feel more heroic
against all odds

[kicked it with tallulah, luca, and david last night until early this morning. it's cool to see berkeley people outside the berkeley environment. played video games with jeremy today. tomorrow i hope to begin my productivity. i hope.]
