Ain't no money in poetry, that's what sets the poet free

Gil Scott-Heron, we could use you now. In Communist China, the government puts up cameras outside people's doors to monitor their comings and goings. In capitalist America, people pay corporations for the privilege of using their camera as a doorbell. Smile!
Can't decide if Mother Nature has an absurdist streak or just a penchant for mocking humanity's hubris. Either way, it's probably best just to hijack the Ark and run up the Jolly Roger.
