Swords

Gilded handle -
the sword that I leapt over
is poured-on
plastic with
chrome polish finish.

Gotta hand it to 'em
They know how to keep em convinced

Golden
Silver
and
Platinum
crosses
cover our bodies
without our consent
because they're too scared
to scatter our ashes
in toilets.

What a miserable
fucking place
this is.
