Pandremecession: A K in Capitalism
Dead metal wilts green. Crippled green crumbles to zinc.
The city rusts in the droplets of a breathing hundreds in thousands,
though some turn to mouth more than allowed to breath
(choked by the pathology or an inequality),
and the backwoods rolls its under-belly to reincarnation,
of disemboweling by its own cutting shears,
in a season where more ghosts to men twist tomato vine.
And the districts feel a turnover in population,
clocking out by a snapped telomere or the plucked amygdala,
to a graveyard or a suburban home.
The remainder
can't reach the clock-face when standing on the ladder of their savings
and beg the time of an employer's clocks,
timers with limited offerings.
Invisible infrastructure impervious to breath or the cessation of it
shakes the emptying of buildings
and cashes the coinage, the goods and services into its network in a poof,
only tangible in the price of a mega-cap equity,
and attending people, serving people
retain the signs of their brands
when soon competition inverts inward
over which of the family of colleagues, unsettled against their will by forces of pestilence, demand and bureaucratic posturing,
procures grain for their glasses of hours in the recessive dust traps
as manna expires on the countryside
and reapers take the main streets.
