The rift just widened again

it moves with the tide

THIS PLANKWAY WAS NEVER BUILT TO SIT TIGHT -

THE STRUT AND STAMP OF GRAND AND WILLFUL EXPLOITS

REQUIRES LOOSE BUT SOLID BUILD,

EXTREMES NEED SPACE TO BREATHE

STILL, BEWARE:

THE WEAR COMES FROM ALL FRONTS,

THE ANGRY WATERS MAY DESIST BUT THE SEASON HAS JUST BEGUN

AND THERE IS JUST SO MUCH BEATING

THAT EVEN A DEMOCRACY CAN TAKE
