The Titanic

The Titanic is sinking 
Therefore
We need to start 
Dancing !  

Now 
Dear !

I'm planting a vegetable 
Garden 
In the front yard -

Reading about how 
Bad things are 
With the money 
And the market 
And the bonds 
And the derivatives 
( not sure what they're 
Derived from) 
But 
It sounds 
Scary 
Enough 

Numbers in the trillions 
Just 
To scare us -
Undoubtedly 
Understood by 
Someone 

A conspiracy
Absolutely 

- By whoever claims 
To understand 
What's going on 
With 
Negative interest rates -
What! 

That 
Sounds like a sinking ship 
To me 

So get out there 
On the deck 
And dance 

As the sea water comes up 
Around our ankles 
At least we 
Have each other 
And music 
And movement 
And 

Tango.
