the dawn of a new era or something or other

I don't want to be in love.

this is not a statement, no no
it is actually, more like a state.
a non-aligned sovereign
misaligned and foreign.

the tourists can stay for the gifts
and she doesn't tremble when they leave
she is all borders
she is all business.

the Queen is sipping sugar and brandy
the King has left the country
she is all borders now
she is all business.

the village idiot is learning new skills
the witch is taking pills
she is all borders now
she is all business.

the poet is changing residence
the martyr is no longer dead
she is all borders now
she is all business.
