We Leave

We leave these boxes of the mind

your circles and your triangles

Your matrices and graphs we find

as bankrupt as financials

Your spreadsheet mesh is shutting down

Your currencies are paper thin

Your boundaries are banished now

They vanished in a blink

Your sharp lapels are fading fast

The earth shook out your gridlines

Regard your buildings washing past

the lilting twisted pylons

Your chessboard mind recedes from view,

Your cubicles have crumpled

Your margins slipped away from you,

your lines of thought all jumbled

The sunlight’s warped your frame of mind

The stucco’s rent with wrinkles

Your cornerstones and paradigms

are sinking into shingle

Your numbers fail to match the count

You’ve lost the beat, your rhythm’s late

The infinite has looped you round

and tightens like a ratsnake

We leave you in your office blocks

We’re off to see the trees

Goodbye to your atomic clocks

and death to all geometry!
