& she thinks you should know
the stock market is just vibes

of rich people, the valuation of
fear rising, falling, freefloating

& if you say no, no it can’t be just
that, please know there are facts

like the name of the wool serge
hung to hide the backstage wings

so the audience cannot see the union
hands making magic: tormentors
