    these days
    you have to wonder
    about them in fresno
    and if you should have grown
    grapevines
    in santa clarita and not dumb flowers

    these days
    you wonder about the oranges
    and the lawn
    and pounding in a nail

    and not the equations

    you wonder about writing another program

    you wonder really about taking another learning seriously
    you wonder about the nut case in the library
    when it's at code red
    and you have to stay here an hour

    these days
    whatever is left has a security guard who is too tall
    to tell them to go away
    or we all go away

    we still have food

    these days the third circle of hell
    takes on the first circle of angels

    and you wonder what that is

    they have no silver to mine
    no coal
    and you wanted to mine data
    but you sort of forgot about the miner

    what he'd look like
    who would do that really
    and you're stuck in a field

    and as usual theres 3 places that are taking
    in the data gold maybe 4
    and the others get their silver

    and judas gets his silver
    and the matthew 25 gold getters and revelation 3
    don't know what you're talkingabout

    tthey might invite people out of silver
    but once in a while
    and the people die here
    it looks like
    or are taken away

    and we wait here at coffee shops
    like in waiting for godot or antioch
    in bitcoin, yahoo, wall street,
    github, excel spread sheets

    bad internet searches
    sleep late
