12,166. TRENTON MAKES?

TRENTON MAKES?
Well, they used to say it makes
and the world takes. That still
holds, I guess, if you like tacos.
The same bridge sits there, saying
that, in silence. The fast cars pummel
the pavement along; just from there
30 buildings of Government sit.
Nothing moves in a place like that.
Tremulous choristers of government
workers cheapen their seats. Taking
numbers and names whose claims are
to do your biddings and find your case.
All these chorister workers walk out
for their lunches and breaks. Sitting
in bars and taverns, to chew on the
seamier sides of everything served.
Trenton eats, the world suffers.
