Our Frozen Capitalism of 1943

Capitalism removed from the shackles of democracy

and from the 'threat' of socialism

always veers towards Auschwitz:

"Arbeit macht frei"

with the freedom being that of the death.

Smelling the ash in the air

someone tries, failing, to play Wagner on the piano

by the open window

as the rest of the party talk of the news from Berlin:

Advances on all fronts and the trains run on schedule.
