14,150. THIS PLACE

THIS PLACE
So this place is yours and
we can keep it together: All
that distant noise is what's
left of the world  -  dowagers
and gamblers and constables
and field-hands for the Mob.
-
The bank-tellers aren't talking,
as their fingers near the bell.
In only a second, the alarms 
will go off at headquarters and
we'll be sunk in our shoes.
