esther's copy

esther was the copier
she copied night and day
her paper pile reached from detroit
up to the milky way

her job description was too long
she needed another her
so she made a copy of herself
with the copier

they worked together as a team
until they both met gus
her copy ran away with him
together on the bus

so esther works alone again
without ifs ands or buts
while gus is scarred all over
from esther's copy's paper cuts
