sticky candy, under the carpet of concern
learn. the environmental fern
television turned to computer
mid-eighties something, sooner
telephone learned night vision, intelligence too
nuclear weapons contracts, retrospect
collecting dust, atop the rust
mistrust, penetrating deep
cold winds throughout, doubt
no shells fired, only the unemployed fired
wire the cash, instant, now flash
dash with the suitcase of rubbish
the investigation’s all hushed, mushed
okay, try a new payment plan
house foreclosures – made the headlines
all clear? enter the new era, here
