the pen is mightier than the sword
                       —Benjamin Franklin

Let us make a name for ourselves:
Nextel. T-Mobile. Sprint. Verizon. Cingular.
Cloud busters, ziggurats of the 21st century,
Loom over farms, line interstates, and co-opt church steeples.

Nextel. T-Mobile. Sprint. Verizon. Cingular.
The present-day Nimrods prostituting their wares,
Looming over farms, lining interstates, and co-opting church steeples.
Promising allover, rollover, anytime, global, unlimited, fair and flexible.
