thousands of cars pass beneath the mid city window
on a daily basis
and the clinic wants to know why I need a new inhaler
every 3 weeks
it’s not just asthma
but accumulation of psychic arrears
how to justify morons ruling the world
is a catchphrase caught in the throat of felled monuments
mammon at the altar of blah blah blah
nobody’s got enough money
to satisfy dreams
when you’re alone, not likely to awaken
