Late capitalism in verse
First they drove out the wealthy
The City by the Bay did nothing
Then they terrified the tourists
And the City did not speak
Now retail rampagers change
Nordstroms into a stripped mall
And the City watches on video
When there is nothing left to steal
And there is no one left to rob
And those who can have fled
Only Greco/Roman statues
Of naked white ancestors
Stand alone on sale
Inside Nordstroms’
New museum
