SOLIPSISM




   I consider the logic of tragedy
 
   and the tragedy of logic 

   of the self storage facility 

   where locks and keys 

   are all the world

   thieves kept at bay

   by electronics

   dedicated wardens

   concrete block

   and lights that sense your movement

   even in retrograde

   of course

   all this wealth

   these piled treasures

   deserve a universe

   of locks and keys

   a controlled environment

   an air condition

   a self storage facility

   it's the logic of tragedy and

   the tragedy of logic
