What Do We Do Now

One gigantic beached whale

Desiccates on the neighbor's curb

Guess they threw her away

Could've waited till garbage day

What do we do now?

If only we were Inuit

What do we do now?

You can bet the HOA will hear about this

Inconveniences abound

The world is our oyster and we can shuck off all we want

And oh, how we want to want

An abandoned high-rise

Toppled over in the dead of night

Now it rests horizontal on a low-income neighborhood

What do we do now?

Could it be repurposed?

What do we do now?

Maybe field some offers for a dollar store

If comedy is tragedy

It's funny to think of the billions of people in need

While we put up our feet

What do we do now?

Light a match to this world

What do we do now?

If someone could dismantle this kleptocracy

The checks and balances are off

The checks were elastic, imbalances drafted the map

We see-sawed with fat cats

What do we do now?

Light a match to this world

What do we do now?

Dismantle me, oh God, oh please
