1371

GOVERNMENT DEE

I'm ok with the machine.
It brings me up to the surface
When I love you. The sides
Of the here and now shake
To be quiet about it, but

I'm ok with the precedent.
Now and then, I'll kick a button
And some rust will show.
The point is to speak to make
Time wonder whether

I'm ok with the expense.
I am. I look at the boulevard
Differently when you're
Not here yet. Governments
Change all the time. Come home.
