The Moral Equation Machine Broke Down
(Coney Island fire, 1911)

CEE

In its seven years at Dreamland
No deaths, no freakish things
No horrid happenings, until
It was an invention, meant for thought and fun
Set down, Edison Edwardian
In a grand place of magnificence
Where the poor could feel magnificent, too
In that time and place, and
Closer than Sistine ceiling
Faith and mysticism ran lover with science
Those scales have since fallen, dead stars
Form of function none wish to recall
For greatgrands, it took but standing
Upon moon of smoking garbage
Seeing a cast iron toad of a table arcade
Seeing there it still sat, in wait
Come hither

Our wishes, the seeking
Aren’t meant union with mute things made
Believe or don’t believe, and as you like
Man is a shitty Creator
