Today's man watch him walk
flashing black nameless
pre-recorded down the street.
Watch him walk with his numbered steps and calculated pace,
hunched over lifestyle like
intense prayer, like self denial.
A man of the world, made of
modern myth woven with
fear of the unknown.
Today's man watch him walk
with a fascist efficiency
a collection of collections,
fumbling among his credit
to acquire his things.
Working it out, bringing it in,
being prepared becomes an
obsessive preparation.
Today's man watch him walk
flashing nameless and electric,
scientifically hip with
his nameless girl, they're
young and exciting
in this nameless world.
