Underworld Insurance Needs

Brett Warren

That one song from Passager that nobody liked! Death of a Salesman… from hell! Another day in the life of those ‘Stopadvertising’ folks.

I have always set a little bit
off to the side to help the family
though I currently have five of them
care for neither one the less
and in the time it takes a man
to walk one station to another
the needs I care the most for
have been fully addressed

having problems down below?

first caller of the day wants
to take out a policy on his niece
his turtle powered hair dryer
and his last remaining feet
and protection from surface babies
that get stuck in pipes above

have problems down below?

I have always set a little bit
off to the side to help the family
though I currently have four of them
I care for neither one the less
and in the time it takes this man
to walk one station to another
the needs I watch the most for
have been fully A dressed

leaving in the morning
crawling from the tomb
to the little green bordello
with quiet empty room
with her hands so clasped and tremblin’
and teardrop from her eye
she said “my man went off and left me, but I really can’t say why I’m having problems down below, I really don’t know”
