i am prepared to eat my words
tonight i am prepared to eat

to not know
not because you 
don’t want to 
know but 
because you do

the world has ended 5,255 times
but in columbus circle, new york city 
the latest holocausts are celebrated 
   there stands cristobal 
a vision of terror/made permanent at fifty
second street, across the circle is a ring of accomplices to the nazis, deutzsche bank
hugo boss (the latest fashions)

well sure enough is trump tower at the north end so we can’t really pretend 
   are they are okay?
citibank is close by, with the blood of haitians on its hands, man

thank you for the stories laughs and wine
i hope we have time to hang in the next line
