my nuclear arsenal

well coin is a treat
cash is a treat
there is some justice in that

but where is the Angel Jesse
where is he

he bows, bows over (it is gratifying)
the gavel, the gavel he says
quiet
(and it is quiet)
and the man gets up
with his house and his possessions
(he takes all that he is good for)

and the man is in good health
so he starts following the Angel

and the Angel Jesse says, Wait here
if you are a disgraceful merchant
you may not pass

and then he begins to stamp the ground
and the ground opens

*

meanwhile, the drug-dealer starts shooting up
the playground
(the schoolchildren)
and they start following
nobody

earlier in the day
they were learning about Beethoven
Ode to Joy

and they were singing
or not singing, but just about to
(they were talking, before they could sing)

and it was
fa la la

but it’s not good
not good at all

so where is that man Ulysses
where is Jacob
