The Market

No connection here, now none.

Either or

Techno, so apropos for this stale old bar

Swing about, now it's clear

it was before that I've been here

Prior to this, there was no connection at all

Swing back round, and now by the wall

a rag-tag dog panting to a musical score


In the laundromat next door

the trolls invoke their accents and chide

.......an empire of riches


Styrofoam and garbage laps in the tide.
