The U.S. economy is currently
parasailing over the solemn bay.
By selling each other houses we
increase our solvency and pretend
how bad the aftermath won’t be. I’d
four loose teeths in one semester, each
one suffering a twin imbalance. None
richer by September, I paid each
starving dentist with money borrowed
from China. How calm the waters
of domestic spending. How subtle
the increase in credit card spam lead
ing us both to mouthfuls of ice ere
we sullenly go down on each other.
