Quadrilateral Colonies

Once upon a time

There was a man

In an apartment

With flesh-colored walls

And a perfect view

Of skyscrapers

And rooftops

He has a brother

In a jail

With a perfect view

Of warehouses

And factories

Cover to cover

He reads magazines

And newspapers

And he likes two

Sugar cubes

In his regular cup

He doesn't worry

About ends

It's just progress

And we've all

Got to bend

Less the world breaks

If the bomb comes

It'll come in a neat

Little package

And someone

Will build new

Quadrilateral colonies

For two
