As the world comes apart
Eyes gleam in darkness want to kill us
Pierce our airconditioned haze
Our false bubble
To let the world in, sweating and congested
Fingers feeling for our weakness
Always creeping back though smashed
And smashed with force
Without a center
Without remorse
The scramble to survive:
All life washing in a tide
Against the stanchions of America
Almost sinking this fragile boat
As history rages stronger
