They speak of the dubious relationship
Between music and politics
And I understand

You might vote for Donald Trump
Even if you like
A rockin' American band

Poetry is a kind of politics
But for a mystic city

Nowhere in America
More like Stockholm:  pretty.

I like the word cosmopolis
I like to watch the skies

Some people like detectives
Some like alibis

I like science fiction
The sacred in disguise.
