when everything mattered, when tax breaks darling, when sentences were sentences, when lip service served dessert, when elk had leisure, when even the musty remained, when uncalled for fronds in the picnic display, when Apache history gaslighted, when simplistic rainfall goo goo ga joob, when a piece of shit meant something, when dialogue talked like oats, Then to the lists fair elephants and prong, our daily dose calls to thee and your implied traction, cankers stand for festive, politics makes mucous, the sunless isles look dark in this light, we are friends to the end
