Enter Without Knocking

Here is the pawn-shop, ladies,
Here you can buy
Ideas for a penny, gods for a sigh.

Evaluate
The postulate.

Flags drape the walls.
Around are robots who repeat old laws
For record purposes;
Weaving new patterns
At confident pace
Embellish, embroider
The trade-mark base:

Here is the pawn-shop,
Here you can buy
Ideas for a penny, gods for a sigh.

But one day, they know, the wheels will grata,
The flags will be their pall,
The broker's blandness stumble
Incoherent to its fall.

The postulate
Found syncopate:

Here is the pawn-shop, ladies,
Here you can buy
Sleep for a penny, death for a sigh,
Freedom for ever from knowledge's eye.
