It envisions police power used against strikers, tax increases driving residents away, and buildings and amenities converted into markets while the mayor finally departs with a quit-claim deed to Eaglefeather, last Canarsie Indian survivor. The piece ends with a sardonic note on postcollapse life and a quixotic closing image.
