Poem by Lisa Maule

My capitalist stapler

was manufactured

out of lime green plastic and shipped

to a stationery shelf in a chain store in my city and sold for $6.95


My capitalist stapler

did not like

the pro-co-governance document

It avoided, obfuscated, and limply attempted its job of /

unity

The staples went through the sheets of paper

but did not bind

After four tries I ended up bending

the end of the staple

with

my thumb


It hurt
