We are all finding out just what we have to offer.

"The turtle laughed. The lizards laughed. The snake laughed. The field mouse laughed, and Frog laughed." —@frogandtoadbot.bsky.social

Street scene in Alaska.

      "white gathers"

   when our fares give out
the tower gets finished
   the levee buckles
our dreams receive sanction

   the question held fast
to the goal it's bound
   this variety
of despair makes us trip
   on tears so sanguine
hist'ry a shelter left

   the only one left
out of tumults sanguine
   this long crazy trip
—utmost variety
   or torture crag bound—
the waters shuffle fast

   till we dare sanction
new straitjacket buckles
   the reign is finished
no more treats to give out
   hotel overlook,
& its games overlook

Flobots' ICE song.
