WE WATCH

 

From the fair sweet mouth of greed

Comes the praise you think you need

Which sets up the fall

From perches shaky and tall

Built on the quicksand of hot-air

Percolating from the depths

A heartbreak affair

Broken up by faint beauty

Her youthful sheen meant a lot

If you know what I mean

Great fix for us have-nots

In ghettos and rural boroughs

To reach the billionaires club of sex

Some address not affixed

The kind of place

That supercharges release

In ways un-suburban thought of

The kind of wilderness experience

That escaped tigers must feel

Finally with each other

No timid alley-cats

Just us ferocious

Just us human jets

Taking off and heading west

Until globe has been circled

And all the jewels admired

And set free

No need to covet her company

Let her go back to Jungle City

A place of towers and glass

While here, on the Sierra

We watch                                                                                                       160226.1
