Red tide bullion bullies
beating the Reserves
fattened on the fiat
proverbial Chinese words

Puppet Pyongyang fingers
Pointing at the south
Bikini atoll fires
from the dragon's mouth

Sovereign tidal waves
ripples and rip tides
fiscal troughs and seismic sounds
tsunami fronts collide

Collective bargain gained
paychecks from the future
poorness for posterity
gifted by the boomers

Unworking and yet earning
stalled and satisfied
printing presses print for food
entitled genocide

Warming sun on artic poles
frozen ocean currents
gradients and differences
resistance of deterrents

Insatiable immigration
from third worlds of disrepair
unquelled, unstopped, unstoppable
the Moses of despair

Queens reprised from Anchorage
to Washington come calling
North slope oil and dead Caribou
not the least appalling

Kenyan and keynesian
Hawaiian one term doubters
archipelagos of bureaucracy
doomed by the withouters

To Madison and Franklin,
trapped in deep Potomac ice
Their tea cups cracked on frozen plates
with constitutional device

And Mayans and the long count
now one year away
whisper from the Yucutan
does it matter anyway?
