Death of the Working Man by Keith Costello

Death of the Working Man

How this machine ground tragic
Bone from Collar Blue blessed
Viscous, anointed, syncopatic
Amalgamated, synthesized and coalesced

Meshing marrow fused with iron
A dovetailed metamorphosis
Dune-flaps shadowing quite completely
Huxlean Somastitions press

Pound like post Pangean quakes
Rapacitic lumbers
Asphyxiated with each ambitious grate
T'was Collar Blues' quick slumber
