Algeciras

   Algeciras! A cruel hand

   dealt by the Almighty to

   set a Spanish anchorage

   six miles off Gibraltar.

   Our ball and chain, our

   nemesis, our xenophobes'

   redoubt, our unlamented

   Dixie will restore us 

   to total surveillance,

   for the going price. A

   hyper-investment in the

   warfare state has given

   us hyper-investment in

   the panic state, and

   what we call smart mon-

   ey will not roll over.

   You know guns? Finance

   is a gun. Politics is 

   knowing when to pull  

   the trigger.
