about you, country

				socket of disruption
an era continuum
turned loose
by the hand of man

should we

let you
 
play out?
 
they'll write a book
--how you frayed at the seams
modern nature
the seamstress
of a lost generation

of consumers
in tatters
credulous clients
of a scheme
all too easily invested
 
and for your
children
your
country
your condemned
will they
 coerce accordingly?

the tentative arrangement
of a mission accomplished
as we have evolved a-moral


man 	    indeed
claims we've won
but there are still enemies?
 --claims we've won
but who do we
believe
now?

should we consider
god?   the media?   the jews?

perhaps now
we may recall
leo hutton
ellis island circa nineteen
thirty eight

fleeing the nazis
he was really
leonard hutchnecker
--just another parvenu
(ill  nourishment
for a lost faith)

there was a time, though
avant     avant garde
before bazaar life
and
l'official
--an era of
exclusivity

capitalist among
capitalist indifferent
that telescope belongs over here
--hurry!
the zeros are aligning
the pendulum is swinging
north
is here!

and what   of a generation
that dared to know
 but    never really knew
that the big picture
was actually
a whole

other

thing
