Tracking

So we are chrome organisms
All shining brightly polished 
in the late light of this late night

You all use telephones
talk to machines, dial-tones
yellow pages stained with desperation

Held up on a platform
epitomize the norm
factory-manufactured

We are the prototypes
this was all just a test
they never got it right

Warm humid pollution
stains your aluminum lungs
you're used to the taste

Where are the birds?
They've flown, they've gone
done what you could never do

While you're trapped
tracking steps with satellites
Where'd you park the car?
