Who Turns Out the Lights?

what happens when
the United States of America
cant pay the rent?
i mean, do we get evicted?

do we pack up our senators
and congressmen, and
load them on the back
of an old pickup truck...
and send them into the great
beyond? what happens?

do Native Americans get it back?
do the Chinese take over?

and who turns out the lights?
