The fall of the house of fools,

all dead now, crushed under

the weight of expectancy

and dramatic insecurity,

was to be expected, for how is it possible

to keep a house above water

when you keep diverting the flow

and course; at some point

the foundations are always going

to cave in for the sand they are built upon,

will shift with the opinion

of those who rent the house.
