More Rants of Exchange

Rate of exchange
don't treat the greenback so good
nowadays.
Anyroad
last post's rant of exchange
remembered to tell me
about this rant of exchange
that's got bits from
Russell Hoban's 1980 novel
Riddley Walker.
"the onlyest power is no power."

We covered up the clutter
and burried all our broken wires.
Opened up the shutters
and we can see for miles and miles.
And isn't it true
that we know something about you?
But that's okay
that's okay.
Every tomorrow meets its end
in yesterday.
And isn't it strange
accounting the rates of exchange?
We got there from here
"the little come big by the far come near"
so please don't take the good news so hard.
Lose the frown
break a smile
hide your soapbox
for a while.
We've got something
for your ringing ears.
"Sharna pax and get the pole"
brighten out the deepest hole.
Signal tower
flash the hour
of all clear.
