More free floating interchangeable connectiveness
Than is possible to perceive
Is the reason for this mess,
The debates on conscience and God,
The significance of aesthetic melancholy,
The laughter when the sheriff attempted to bless
This town which, since he arrived, is exactly the same,
The unfairness of beauty and Wall Street wealth,
The component parts, the poetry, anything you can name,
Defensiveness accelerating
Despite the error involved in every practice;
Kindness can be avoided, but nothing else,
And sure, there’s nothing else to do but blame;
That’s how thought works, that’s God;
You saw the headline didn’t you?
Half the sex, say the experts, and twice the shame.
