All is well

Everything is running swimmingly

What’s going on?
What’s going on out there?
What’s going on in here?

Sun illuminating as if it was hovering over the Babylon gardens,
air frostier than the night of its eternal decimation

Images,
from people walking in fur boots, with their chests puffed up
to people lying on the street, with fur boots to their chests

Forecasts,
from the traditional Re:
to the the traditional rejection

Suits,
blue when you enter
Bluer when you exit

A game of staying afloat,
just long enough
to see a fraction of a breakthrough,
to stay afloat the next day
