need to make myself a hat

I hear that metals

would be the smart hedge

to buy now.

a ticket to the fifties

when the world was golden.

as long as you were white.

and male.

and lived in the northern

hemisphere. (or maybe

south africa or oz)

well.

here's the problem though.

can't buy tin foil anymore.

aluminum

just isn't as effective.

and lead isn't doing

a lot of good in flint

or orlando.

it's sad.

no protection

from the invisible rays

emanating from the District

(take your pick of districts,

political or financial,

plenty of them to choose from)

not to mention the chem trails.

which of course

have a more significant effect

than thousands upon thousands

of coal-burning powerplants

and a billion cars.

and cows.

actual bullshit is as destructive

as the kind emitted from

the mouths of demagogues.

maybe i'll just build a hut

in the Andes or the Congo

where tin is plentiful,

and smelt a personal Panama

or Trilby.

because the only bullion

I have, comes in a jar.
