Faster - Then Slower


The day the billing agencies
Came to an end.

Holy Mother of Pearl
Swam in an ice cold pool-

The hour the bells
Felt 29 pounds of needed cotton.

Aristocrats bought the bottom hat
With no top.

Knots in silk,
Glasses of tomato juice-

Oh,
The day the CIA & FBI could trim their staff in half.

The day you could come and
Give an utter shit.

For the bill collectors
Understood their wives and inexpensive
Meant as much as expensive
To the populace.
