The ground is tapped with copper wire
strapped strips roped proper attire
the golden age of digital days
tax cut breaks that never break
or, crest from the tidal wave of
deficits that never stay definite

Fragile


Rome fell too so don't feel much
ado, for something I don't love
for its namesake
a sad state, shake your head
but don't wake him
tip toe traveling across statelines
stationed in jersey city heights
I've gone this far,
what will I go back to.
