Floating, a bag

[alexanderscttb]

refuse, scrapped
McD's bag litering
  the counter,
where in China one
  leaves
a spent meal to be
  disposed
of by working class
  people;
refusal to be
anymore exploited,
  herein,
has left me
  unemployed again;
for speaking out
  against the
  crunch that
  grinds human-
  cattle into
  penny-patties,
I'm left to
  drink
corrosive coffee
one this crummy
  counter;
left unable to
  counter the
  power of
  unchecked
  abuses of
  our labor;
lower
than the average
ghost, illegally
haunting; status
controls the
  sphere
of my influence;
  as
disposable as
  what I must
do.
