Planet Muzak

 

Here all the birds are different colors—

buy as many as you want, each comes marked

with caloric content and allergen warnings.

But they all sing the same song.

 

The books are all shelved orderly,

labelled in typography that clearly signifies

both the publisher’s aesthetic and the (necessartily aligned)

political leanings of the author.

 

The meadow is full of botteflies

whose wings are QR-coded for quality control

and tinted with this season’s It colors

as determined scientifically by Pantone.

 

So that consumers are not disappointed, every Christmas

order will include one million identical snowflakes.
