driving both ways by autotelic

It isnt the Large Haldron Collider that's responsible for the centrifugal force
That's ripping a gaping blackhole in the economy
Flinging peoples jobs, savings and hopes against the fucking wall.
Ripping peoples lives apart.
Amidst the spin though
The Bush administration slips into escape velocity
No one seems to notice its stealth exit from Washington
The line of sleek black limos gliding out past the Lincoln Memorial
Black tinted windows deflecting any real lasting external scrutiny
Or probity beyond the dim shallow surface sheen of capital flight
Reflected in the sunglasses of the four motorcycle outriders
At the far side of the bridge
As the motorcade swiftly accelerates away from the the trail of bad paper , debt and smoke
Away from the clamour of the unnecessary dead in the national burial ground
And the rapidly expanding ghost class left behind
Driving away from the foreclosusers and bankruptcies
The fear and anguish of the skewered small business folk
Away from the cold islands of the dispossessed with their lives and shattered dreams heaped up in shopping karts
The convoy easilly overtakes the people who endlessly commute to be able to afford to pay for gas
Running over the walking wounded
The hungry and suicides
Executive tIres burn up the freeway
As poverty stamps on the face of the nation like a boot

out on the business loop by autotelic

Thought I'd just update the pic as regular readers already know the outcome of the Tryst. Tom's wife's  car got hit by a firetruck as she sat there with her eyes closed on the corner of  Hoover and Main  waiting for  the universe to make her next decision for her , Tom found out about her affair with Rodrigo from the cops who assuaged their own guilt at inadvertently blabbing and driving the already grief stricken preacher into a complete nervous breakdown  by picking up Rodrigo for a minor traffic violation outside O'Hara's one night and driving him out into the country and working him over real good with their rifle butts.  Rodrigo crossed back into Neuvo Laredo 3 days later with a broken arm and permanently blind in one eye. He became a grave digger. The church roof never did get fixed. 

Life has a lot of lessons for us but we usally forget what they are before we learn them .
