“Big Brother” by Reed Whittemore 🇺🇸 (11 Sep 19196 Apr 2012)
I spent last night with my Big (Board) (American) Brother
and all his Perception Managers
as they told me (right on the tube) what I should eat
buy drink wear and invest in
toward the end of the evening they noticed that I was unconscious
and took this to mean that the lobes of my infantile brain
were grieving for lack of sufficient data on all the amazing
breakthroughs in life and tummy remedies
improving each human human at each waking moment
so then they
fixed up my lobes until my perceptions grew glum and started
to bug me
at which time I woke and smiled to them saying dear Sirs
I wish you to know Sirs that when Sirs you sit Sirs and smile Sirs
and say Sirs NOTHING AT ALL it is then that my lobes Sirs
advise me that all my major organic systems Sirs
(by which to be brief I mean Sirs my lymphatic system
my circulatory system
my respiratory system
my digestive system
and my reproductive system)
love you as all such small-brother systems (Sirs) SHOULD
and yet Sirs
I wish you also to know at this time Sirs that when Sirs
you talk to me from the depths of your own noisy lobes Sirs
and keep telling me telling me telling me that which you tell me
it is THEN Sirs that something unbrotherly sweeps through my systems
with the muggy messy manic moronic consequence
that I itch and twitch and cannot seem to stop twitching
Sirs
but must sweat shudder and come to DESPISE Sirs
YOU Sirs
at at that time I yearn yearn and even yearn MORE Sirs
for you to SHUT
UP
ok?
