take these wings 4.

OUR RICHNESS MAKES US POORER, 
WEALTH COMES & GOES & OH YOU KNOW IT.
MONIES FLOWS TO RICHER POCKETS ANYWAY,
LOST IN BANK ACCOUNTS TO SIT & SWIRL,
& FUND CRUISE-LINE-LIFE-STYLES, EASED
BY ONLY-TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CHARITIES,
DEBITED TO BE INVESTED BACK INTO
THE MACHINE "FOR THE PEOPLE"
THAT LOOPS: REPEAT PROCESS.

MIDDLE-CLASS IDLENESS

ENABLES THE CELEBRITY INDUSTRY:

STARS OF FILM & ROCK ATTENTION,

MAINSTREAM SUCCESS STORIES,

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF STATIC,

UN_REALITY PARTICIPANTS.

WE GIVE OUR PRECIOUS ATTENTION AWAY
TO STAY UPDATED, WITHOUT CARING,
AS TO WHICH OF THEIR CREATIONS IS:
CRACKING UNDER THE PRESSURE OF
RECOGNIZABILITY/FUCKING THE OTHER ONE/
GETTING FAT/FINDING TROUBLE/CHEATING/
BEING AWARDED/BEING SILLY/BEING DEAD
& THEN DESIRE FAME ALL THE MORE

OUR INTEREST FOR LIFE IS SHOWN AS A LUST FOR LIGHT

REFLECTED IN_ACTION & HALF AS AN UNDONE-THOUGHT

WE ARE THE LAWYERS & THE JURORS:
WE WANT OUR CAESARS' BREAKFAST!
WE DEMAND THE JUDGES' ROBES!

THE ECONOMY SLOWS OUR ROLE,

SIMULATING THE ARISTOCRACY.

WE, READERS OF THE NEWSPAPERS,

TALKERS & OPINION-PUSHERS,

PEDDLERS, PRIESTS, & PENITENTS;

ALWAYS ANGRY TO BE DELAYED;

WHOM CARE TOO MUCH FOR

PARKING SPACES AND

PAID-TIME-OFF.
