government shutdown 10.1.13

the government had to pack up its office:
an arizona snowglobe
swingline stapler
uncountable paper clips
free calenders 3 months to expiry
fire sale for gov street signs

we fucked in the alley
& he swung from his tie
glinting flag pin
shooting rays of the sun

the government went home to its spouse:
sat grave on the couch
silent explanation
flipped the tv  
prerecorded breaking bad finale
cardboard box dinner

we played a show in the alley
& he swung from his tie
glinting flag pin
shooting rays of the sun

the government is having trouble sleeping:
repo men took away its memory foam
tosses turns rolls sighs
sweating for what was accountable
ceiling staring  
drop ceiling abyss

we smoked blunts in the alley
& he swung from his tie
glinting flag pin
shooting rays of the sun
