Either

Sometimes there are things
That make you think
Everything will be okay.

For Americans
And human beings,
Whatever you may be…
There are things that say
You’ll be OK.

For instance,

Have you ever seen the freeway
-All big and wide
And made of concrete-
Go on forever
Like it's always been there?

And heart surgery?
Can you believe
All that?

I saw a picture tonight
Of English bobbies
Passing storm troopers
Like what the fuck are you
Dressed up like that for?

Fake guns in hand,
Clubs on belts,
Like hey,
I’ve never felt either.
