William F. Buckley,
Junior,
Mister Private Property,
planned to give a little talk,
a political speech,
in a small town in Illinois.

His advance men discovered
that the center of town had
disappeared,
and that all the
commercial action
was out at the mall.

When Buckley arrived
at the mall,
he set up his microphone
near a little fountain
and began to hand out leaflets
and autographed copies
of his latest
book.

Just as a small crowd of shoppers gathered,
the owners of the mall ran out and said:
Excuse us.
This is private property,
we're afraid
you'll have to leave....


- Laurie Anderson United States (part one)
