essay on the joys of burning money

antique future herons
doves and cranes are flying
only birds
belong in the penthouse
children please you
spoil the party
we need a troupe of elderly butlers
swaddled in mute comprehension
a more orderly procession
bound to obscure ceremony
governing abdicated princes
how they scramble after crown fragments
drag themselves to battlements
siege and
are besieged
