When the middle-class stretches and grows
someone knows! Even though the best decision
may rock the pillar, shake the beam
loose the temporary foundation

There are many silly buses in this world

One directs you to your signs

The Middle Class Woes
When the middle-class stretches and grows
someone knows! Even though the best decision
may rock the pillar, shake the beam
loose the temporary foundation

peers through the roof, stretches—yearning
to grow after the roots are shaken—tough,
beyond what once was the middle-class!
