as i sit here

 as i sit here,

the sound of my fan reminds me that it is hot;

it's hot, and my bottle is empty;

the heat, the bottle, and my plastic chair, peeling;

mixed with the little pieces of plastic is hair;

plastic and hair and a grain of rice;

plastic, hair, rice, and my middle-classness;

the sound of my fan reminds me that it is hot;

it's hot, and i must stay quiet;

it's hot, i'm quiet, a fly flies by;

the fly reminds me that i'm a pest;

unpolished, unwanted, middle-class;

"no", i melee with myself,

"you must speak, you must fight,

as much as it's theirs, this land is mine",

the sound of my fan reminds me that it's hot;

it's hot, and it's time to speak up;

to stand against the money'ed up,

and yell when they act, corrupt,

because they need a reminder-

they do not own the bankrupt;

the sound of my fan reminds me that it's hot;

it's hot but we need liberty;

it's hot, i want to be free, and i am angry,

as i sit here.
