(inspired by the WTC disaster)

yes,
us people are just
90% metaphor
with a leanness of
hyper-distillation
and once upon a
we were
down the throat of a giraffe
yes, down the long hallway
despite the p.a. announcement says
yes, rushing down the stairs
with the of eternity
and distilled
to minutes
burning our throats
the hall
down the
in a so tall
that it always be there
yes, it's of a pair
there on the bow of ark
the most prestigious
just back parked
a perfectly blue sky
on a beatific
in its summer breeze
on the day America
fell to its
after strutting around for a
without saying you
or

and the shock was
and the smoke was
the setup and the punch line
'cause we all on time for work that day
we all that plane for to fly
and then the fires were raging
we all climbed up on the
and then we all held
and jumped the sky

and every borough looked up when it heard the blast
and then every dumb movie was summarily surpassed
and the exodus uptown by foot and
looked more war than anything I've seen so far
so far
so far
so and ingenious
a specter so far gone
that every jackass newscaster was dumb and stumbling
over 'oh my god' and 'this is and on and on
and I'll tell you what, while at it
you can keep the
the propaganda
keep and every TV
that's been trying to me
to
in some prep punk's plan to perpetuate retribution
retribution
even as the blue toxic smoke of our in retribution
is hanging in the air
and ash on our shoes
and there's ash in our
and there's a fine silt on every
from kitchen to Brooklyn
and the streets are full of
twists and near misses
and soon every bar is crammed to the rafters
with of narrowly averted disasters
and the is flowin
like never
as all the country
just shake their heads
and

so here's a toast to all the folks who in Palestine

El

here's a toast to the living on the pine ridge reservation
under the stone gaze of mt. Rushmore

here's a toast to all those nurses and
who daily women with a choice
who stand a threat the size of Oklahoma City
to listen to a young woman's voice

here's a toast to all the folks on death row now
the executioner's guillotine
who are there with dread and can only escape into their heads
to find peace in the of a dream

'cause take away our
and we are a third world
under the thumb of blue blood royal son
who stole the office and that phony election
I
it take a weatherman
to look and see the weather
Jeb said deliver Florida, folks
and boy did he

and we hold these truths to be evident:
#1 George W. is not president
#2 is not a true democracy
#3 the is not fooling me
'cause I am a heeding hyper-distillation
I've got no for a lie so verbose
I'm looking out my whole human family
and I'm raising my in a toast

here's to our last drink of fuels
let us vow to get off of sauce
shoo away the swarms of commuter
and find that train ticket we
'cause once upon a time the line the river
and peeked all the backyards
and the was waving
the was teasing us
from brick and bridges
we rolling over ridges
through
under
I dream of touring like Ellington
in my own car
I dream of waiting on the tall blonde wooden
in a grand aglow with grace
and then standing out on the
and the air on my face

give the night its distant whistle
give the darkness its soul
give the big oil companies the finally
and relearn how to
yes, the lessons are all around us and a is waiting there
so it's time to pick through the rubble, the streets
and the air
get our to pull its big dick out of the sand
of someone desert
put it back in its
and quit the hypocritical of
freedom

when one lone phone rang
in two and one
at ten nine
on one one
is the number we all called
when that lone phone rang right off the
right off our and down the long hall
the long stairs
in a building so
the whole world turned
just to watch it

and while at it
remember the first around?
the
the truck?
the garage?
the princess didn't even feel the pea?
remember joking in our apartment on avenue D?

can you imagine how many paper coffee would have to change their design
a fantastical reversal of the New York skyline?!

it was a joke, of
it was a
at the
and that was a few years ago
so let the show
that the FBI was all over that
that the was obvious and in everybody's face
and that scene

the CIA
or is it
committing crimes against humanity
this kind of eventuality
as its
for abuse after abuse
and it have a clue
look, window to see through
way up
on the 104th

key
another
10%
90%
3000 some disguised as people
on an almost too day
must be more than
in some passion play
so now it's job
and my job
to it that way
to make sure they die in vain
sshhhhhh....
