look what we've done



look what we've done
we had a plan of attack
lined up our forces
then went out for a snack

look what we've done
we had a world here
put things together
then went out for a beer

we took out a wrench
and put parts together
we took out a wench
and put parts together 

now 
everything is going,
going, going, gone.
everything is going wrong.

now 
everything is nothing
nothing is everything
everything is nothing again.

we had the birds 
in the trees
now we have no birds
now we have no trees
now we have no have
now we have no we
no now no now

looks like we're done

lost cities

[[ Global warming, pollution, and how we will appear to archaeologists. ]]

lost city 
under the sand
under a mile of pretty shiny glittery bright empty things
under a mountain of things

lost city 
under the sea
under the waves of a north pole, south pole, melting, burning
under the rising waves

I could not say their names
I do not have the tongue

I would not say their names
for fear of raising ghosts

lost city 
under the sky
under a cloud that will never go, ever grow, never blow away
under a cloud of gray

lost city 
under the bones
under a dry lake of everything eaten that could ever be eaten
under a bed of bones

I could not say their names
I do not have the tongue

I would not say their names
for fear of raising ghosts

animal ghosts in animal voices

lost planet 
under a spell
whirled away, world whirling, 
whirled away, world whirling, 
whirled away, world whirling, 
whirled away, whirling away
