An American User

i get aroused when i watch HGTV
that home-makeover fever squirms around in my mind
like a fly caught in a spider's web
struggling to live.
i have couch-potato-hope for a better future
and when NBC preaches self-renovation
i just know
the road to salvation is opening right in my kitchen
'cause man, i love picking out my furniture
one-piece-at-a-time
defining my image in post-modern fragments,
i'm a montage of domestic commodities and home-delivery, home-shopping, ebay-addicted dreams—
just makes me want to masturbate to Martha all day, ya know?
