shut up & eat

shimmering
mouths & heads

neither ask us nor wish
for us to return
the favor

because you will not
but if you do
and we will not
but if we oblige

mark our words

you will all
end up walking
without heads
on your shoulders

machinating heads
shut your
mouths & eat
your words

working hands & feet
cease work
sway heads
clap tap & shakalak
