cellphone sluts
by daniel sieradski

so this girl was standing
in the subway stairwell
at 9:00 this morning
talking on her cell phone
refusing to move
how mofuckin' rude

cell phone sluts strut their stuff
and blab blab their freaking lives away
walking down broadway
surgically attatched to their telephones
don't you have a home to phone from e.t.?
why don't you publicize your conversation
get a sattelite dish broadcast round the nation

i feel so fucking violated
when your pathetic conversation's
radio waves pass through my body
2nd hand cell signals
giving me cancer
but there's no non-celling section
in the restaurants

you're on that damn phone so much
i'm surprised you're not experiencing mutation
from the radiation
skin melting like wax
around the phone
you don't even need to hold it anymore
just slip it into a flesh pocket
on the side of your face
the tumor growing inside your ear
will develop little fingers to do the dialing
and now aren't you so cool with your
mutant cell phone head
they'll make it a fashion statement
plastering mutant models with
melted ear pockets
on bus stops and in subways
try n' make you feel lame
for not lookin the same
as we all get raped
by your radiowaves
and massive brain tumors
dig us early graves

phallic cell towers spew signals into the sky
suckling the antennae of a digital dynasty

put down that fucking cell phone
before you crash your car
you and your hip holster belt clip
speed dialin caller i.d.in voicemailin
headset p.c.s. bullshit
and your trendy backpack
with the cell pocket on the strap

put down that fucking cell phone
slave of tricknology
being reprogrammed by wavelengths from at&t
you sprint slut
verizon wireless whore
i'll take that motorola and stick it up your--
hey, why do you think it vibrates

i can see thru you and your l.c.d. screen
your smooth black case
rubbery translucent buttons
and flexing antenna
i can see thru you
i can see the top of the stairs
and picture myself there
but you can't see
you can't see me or 300 other commuters
trying to pass you
as you occupy that stairwell
entangled in your ego
entangled in your self
and your pointless 9 a.m. cellphone gossip

put down that fuckin cellphone
a dollar a minute
how can you spend it--
that much loot when you blab all day long
oh your daddy's gonna pay
shit well that's just wrong

oh you cell phone sluts
you make me so mad
hope your batteries explode
shorts out your keypad
