Self Managed Cattle

Each person, each unit of discipline
is managed as thought it were interchangeable.
A sock is not a glove but both go in the same dryer
The unit of discipline is observed in both
a general and individual manner
The method of this paradox was developed over three centuries
The units are kept static in a spacial plane
addressed alphanumerically for ready indexical recall of a specific unit
ordered uniformly for ease of observation
House after house
Cube after cube
Car after car
An equiform procession of human units
contained by order for general observation
this discipline is maintained by subtle cultural feed back stimuli
a deviation from order will cause an accident
a deterioration of equity for the container of the unit of disciple
a car with a dent
a desk by the restroom
a table by the kitchen
a house losing appraised value
The appraisal of value is relative to other units
it is set by a mechanism of market
set by the insecurities of the monied overseeing monad
I hear their breathing each time I am out of step
each time I stop for a rest their shadow covers my napping face
a chill over takes me in my sleep
I am not working hard enough to stay alive
they will stop the flow of capital and I will die
