The Empire of Alexander
via Sooper Delishus. by Chris on May 14, 2008
…or, “This Is What I Get For Watching Historical Documentaries”
Sometimes
As I walk around Lower Manhattan
I imagine that I am walking in the company
Of Alexander HamiltonShowing him the city that he built
The financial engine of the world
A system that he put in motionWe walk past the columns of the stock market
Looming mere feet from where his house once stood
Then along Rector Street
Past the churchyard
Where he lies buriedAnd each time
As my mind wanders
I am gripped by the same inescapable truth:Sweet toad-fucking Christ I’m a dork.
