That Yank glean is long gone anyway; money, sex, power, its gone global no one has a monopoly on it anymore. The towering skyscrapers of New York had fallen long before the second plane; we all knew it. The twang of the Yank accent doesnt give girls that twinge these days, even the dollar sign is looking dated, its day long past. No, America doesnt have it anymore.But then nowhere does. We dont chop the world up by borders anymore, dont slice peoples and dice continents. Its all a sweltering mess, a fucking free-for-all. We went global centuries ago, today weve gone digital, and digital doesnt have borders.
