They

invest in possibilities
They ice their cakes
They dam rivers
They plant liberty next to scalped corpses
They people continents with pimps and addicts
They issue edicts and strong denials
They eat shit to buy shit
They surround themselves with moats and fires
They stumble forward inhaling lies and shitting clichés
They deplete uranium
They drain marshes and people
They build toll roads and mercury switches
They devour horizons
They industrialize time
They cure deviants
They solve puzzles
They wipe their traces clean
They applaud
They give each other knowing looks
They speak with canine breath
They holiday in time-shares
They dream mouse dreams
They accelerate forgetting
They rotate tires and spouses
They resist solitude
They apotheosesize accumulation
They use words like paper towels
They offer pierced flesh
They sand the beaches
They have children
