Capacity City, Jeffrey Cyphers Wright
Sure, take the hospital and make a condo
Luxury spinoff FUBU* movement
Track your tears on the typhoon index
Cry me a river, bitches, and get up in arms
I see you where you live hero decay alarms
America printed on a mirage
Strife grifters on the runway strafed
Momma said the thrifty thrive
Vigilant is visible, make your sign
99% AND WON’T LIE DOWN
Strike force under spring fire
The Shins are playing tonite
Let this poem bite the hand of darkness
Spokes of the sun spinning backwards
*For Us, By Us
