She talks to her guests of how she buys organic now.

This will help the years of beautiful chemicals

synthetic, which saturate the entire pyramid

and drip down its sides-

paint makes it look pretty.

Hear the rail of fifty thousand machinae shutting down,

clogged with impurities- please make sure nature does its job.

Fifty thousand moving from dwelling to edifice, speaking with the air;

the subway homeless content in conversation with himself.

She talks of how she fears terrorism.

Her home is made up like an old body, full of machines to filter

the air and the water and the food and the surfaces.

where he eats grass from the ground as a beast

make sure nature does its job.

eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day.
