Nothing goes inside this tank,
It’s called a bank.
Not even the pay
Which used to flow
Like the sound of music.
Yes, the hills were alive
And loaded.
Now we crawl around,
Inside this dry aquarium.
There are no fishes or loaves
With which to conjure miracles.
Not even a blade of bread
With which to bury the dead.
