it’s a national hematoma .. .

the phone rang, a voice spoke
but I could not decipher
the identity of the caller
they pronounced my name wrong
the world turns slowly
I don’t think I know you

the video ran, presentation followed
I had not heard of this
particular secret for mankind
it would not be available for ever
the opportunity is closing
I don’t think I understand

the mailer drops upon the floor
I thought we were not
using those anymore
they announced it on the news
to save the planet earth
I get increasingly confused

the telegraph poles next to our land
they are taking them down
and the power lines
running cables underground
the town is now a safer place
I cannot get used to change

the blood that runs within our veins
runs faster everyday
hypertension greater
scientists agree unanimously
carbon emissions must not be
I try to keep the planet healthy
