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
