TaBcoma Center sixteen hundred Absuffer sleepless nights
no F#phone calls home to families, no Ereading, no Miranda rights
a Bsecond tier of prison, as if the Abfirst was not enough
it seems a F#citizenâs great promise is
a Eplace to sleep when they lock you up
But either way, they are commodifying Bsomeone,
as if said Esomeone ever could just fade awBay:
the Edreary endless days donât pass Blike numbers on a page,
they sit in Absilence âtil they rail againstF# the irons of their cage
But such a Bcasual addition to suAbpplies, to chains, to flows
tucked beF#tween logistics systems, a lock Efactory, a railroad
as Bbillboards picture families, reuAbnited in their homes
buses F#carry âunnamedâ inmates
to unnamed jEails, to unnamed roads
It is a euphemistic package for aBpartheid
a billion Edollars earned in someone elseâ?B?s blood
a Emanufactured answer to a Bxenophobic question:
how to Abmonetize the labors lost from F#deportation trolls
Hundred and Etwenty five dollars a Bhead
hundred and Etwenty five dollars a Bbed
and on Eweekends we gathered outBside of the gates
just to Abread off the name of the F#dead
I must say itâ?Ab?s a strange sense of sedition
just to F#show the hopes weâd hold
contract the Econtradict conBtrition
of soulless Estates, of stateless Bsouls

Oh eugenic organs, how you beat, constrict, and breathe
And oh you magic markets do detain, defeat, deceive
and on the edge of this gross city, your mixed metaphors conceive
remuneration, replication, yes, interminably.
