Archaic Torso of the Dodd–Frank Act: An Ekphrastic Poem
Promoting the transparency of oleanders
…a breeze with feeble insight blew
Improving time’s macabre indifference
…another knowledge penetrates you
To end “too big to just meander”
…a breeze with feeble insight blew
Protecting our experience from experiences
…another knowledge penetrates you
To stabilize the universe’s appetite for self
…a breeze with feeble insight blew
To travel at the speed of light, American taxpayers, travel light
…another knowledge penetrates you
The financial crisis of carcinogenic hours
…summer’s chaos took the wheel
A sweeping overhaul, with scarlet spirit
…the snow was laughing
Inspecting jealousy, its secret map and Measles
…summer’s chaos took the wheel
Consolidating galaxies suburbanly astonished
…the snow was laughing
Regulating the dress code angling for our attention
…summer’s chaos took the wheel
Sprinkling Spartan cupcakes with the Volcker Rule
…the snow was laughing
Various measures aimed at flying bears
…each war describes the valley’s independent calm
Undoing significant parts of time, its 95 pale hearts
…a thimbleful of history
Orderly liquidation of the most nebulous rebels
…each war describes the valley’s independent calm
Transfer of posh assassination to the SPSE (Sunlight Pouring with Suicidal Energy)
…a thimbleful of history
Bubbly and arguably, you strengthen corporate governance
…each war describes the valley’s independent calm
Congress soothes, commodities exhilarate and anti-predatory lending (such as acting and dance)
is always the product of some art
…a thimbleful of history
