Capitalism on Capitol Hill
Capitalism on Capitol Hill
Moves fast
But I think
I move faster still
In the past
I could barely feel
But now I experience
What’s actually real
Nothing withstands
The test of time
But while I have two feet
I won’t stand in line
I will use them
To look behind
The curtains that the wizard
Wishes I won’t find
And if I must
I will lose my mind
I will lose it exploring
The fabric of time
Nothing much there
But the vast unknown
And when I expire
Perhaps I’ll finally know
The first stanza is a lyric from the wonderful song “Seattle the City of Sunny Afternoons” by Black Bear, which inspired the rest of the poem.
