food gathering in post-industrial america, 1992

Singer:zappa, frank

when the last decrepit factory has dumped its final load of toxic waste into the water supply and shipped its last badly manufactured

incompetently designed consumer thing

we gaze in astonishment as the denizens of nu-perfect america

dine on rats

poodles

styrofoam packing pellets

all floating in a broth of tritium-enriched sewage

roasting the least diseased body parts of abandoned wild children accumulating since the total ban on abortion a few years back.
