Dishwater dimes
Slip through fishlike
Fingers attached to
Hands like drones.
Bottles by the glass
Food made to order
Heat fire and steam
Diners en mass.
Pennies stuck
Hidden beneath tables
Tails sticking out
Heads gives no luck.
Kitchen dweller
After working hours
Into days
Mind’s trapped in a cellar.
Just to survive this
Troubled world
Life non-existant
Shelled and left for death.
