capitalism: a love story

we invested immediately. all shares, moved to chicago. we traded, we built value on our investments, we bought and sold from each other. we had motives and outside pressures. things crashed unexpectedly (a fork). we compensated we overworked we lost money. we cashed everything in at the end and cut our losses. we got out ok. now we are alumni of the same organization.

you throw me away

this is me in my disguise

finding your eyes

trolling your streets

occupying your bridges

keeping warm the sewer gates

sweeping everyday.

you throw me away.

BEWARE: LOVE can cause life-threatening side effects especially if taken while pregnant

curbeside treasure mirrors

and fingerless gloves

keep you from the love

keep you from the love

keep you from the love

the god and the devil

so close together

united forever

everything is love

everything is love

everything is love

makes you feel sometimes

like everything

is part of something

youre not part of

youre behind

lunchbox laser shows

bake a sconelette

youre in deep shit

clear the cobwebs

off a your mind

youre behind

i watched

i watched the cosmos drip

down like sludge towards

my open mouth

bubbling & changing shape

in the bottom of

my mocha cup

how fine

the two guys

sitting next to me at the cafe

talking about how coffee is so bad for you

ever since i sat down with my coffee

just like the guy

walking behind me down the crowded street

(where only i was smoking)

shouting: smoke city! this is smoke city!

as i leaned against a building

he said

looks like shes pregnant too!

the guys next to me

start talking about marrying

and moving to switzerland

and how stable the economy is there.

how fine the cheese and chocolate.
