Uncorked

I started with a startling thought:
You have what you don't want
And want what you don't have.

Well, I'm glad to say that isn't
Entirely true.
You can tell by the creak
Of now functionless seats.
They're all on their feet!
They're all on their feet!

Pleasant dams slow down my drift
That compliment our style
Of dramatic shifts...
We are clockwork.
We are god's work.

There's no stopping us now.
No,
Not while we're still alive.
And already it's over,
Our first one down!
But thank god we've still got five.
