Snake Oil Sells the Economy
From the front of the conference room
He wraps us in a voice born of the pulpit
Buttery and gravelly and low
He floats down from the makeshift stage
Tells of the flying fish
Gives us magic sunglasses
So we can see through water
He's here to talk about new eyes
To see what under(lies)
He's selling a new language
In it, we write our morality on the wall
Through our new eyes
It doesn't look like money
The half-bald man in the blue shirt
Gives all the words to the economy
He sells his poetry
It's not poetry anymore
