Weary and wordless, I use wife’s words instead. I chose this poem of hers because she was saying yesterday the entire U.S. economy is essentially a Bernard Madoff Ponzi pyramid scheme waiting to collapse even further:

Jesus Came Back

He was sick of all the shit–
the pyramid scheme where
144,000 angels cashed in
their pensions.
He’s down here,
with me, on Earth.

God closed up the
retirement plan.

Jesus cooked me dinner,
the last fish
in our frying pan.
He performs minor
miracles in our bed
and it is all for me.

– Lady

    The Five Stages of Collapse by Dmitry Orlov
    Originally posted online on Friday, February 22, 2008

    “Having given a lot of thought to both the differences and the similarities between the two superpowers – the one that has collapsed already [Russia], and the one that is collapsing as I write this – I feel ready to attempt a bold conjecture, and define five stages of collapse…

    Stage 1: Financial collapse….
    Stage 2: Commercial collapse…
    Stage 3: Political collapse…
    Stage 4: Social collapse…
    Stage 5: Cultural collapse…

    …A few brave American expatriates who still come back to visit bring back amazing stories of a different kind, but everyone considers them eccentric and perhaps a little bit crazy.” [that be you]
