11/3/08 Daylight Savings My Ass

Tell me why I need to reset my internal clock
again to conform to the time fake clock construct.
Don't feed me any lines about saving electricity.
Since when do Americans inconvenience themselves
for the sake of conservation of resources.
Since never.

I'm more apt to believe the one where
keeping us in a state of confusion and disorientation
helps THEM keep US off kilter enough not to notice THEM.
But we still notice.
Even if we are a little grumpy in the morning.

So my heartfelt thanks goes out to THEM,
our nameless, faceless all-powerful rulers,
for giving us two daylight savings time adjustments
each year to remember that they are there,
ever present,
running the show,
and fucking with us
at will.
