it's getting hauter

"it's getting hauter"

angel headed hipsters -
oh wait, that isn't mine
without Ginsberg none of us
would be doing just fine

and moths might break
flannel and tweed
to get us closer
to what we need

and what is that?
what really must we
have to quicken us
to make us be?

it's suits and socks
and ties no doubt -
it's money and war
and policy and clout

it's greed and lust
and babies' breath
it's the contour of hate
and lies and death
