“Some nights,”

he said, shadows
dancing over their heads
like bones,
throwing another
pile of metal in the fireplace
to use later as
warmers,
pressing refresh
on the numbers page
of his mobile device,
“if you listen closely
you can literally
hear
the economy
slowing down.”

    there is a chinese saying about how you can hear bamboo grow.
    there is a connection here, but i’m not seeing it.
    oh yeah. bamboo->chinese saying->china economy imploding->they own 42% of usa->they sell->panda’s buy->make us grow more bamboo->we hear it grow.
    i feel better.
