Assigned Seat

I AM NOT A NUMBER!

Who the Hell am I kidding?

To the powers that be 
I'm just another blip
on a scrolling data base screen

A gnat of a stat
locked on a spread sheet
to be measured
and quantified
then fed
to the ravenous algorithm

Gutted and marginalized
into the taste extracted ingredients
that comprise the homogenized
recipe of modern
non creative blandness
