In Selling Smoke

on Wall Street it
is understood.
Divert a shaft

of light to lend
dimension, so

calf can stagger
back to teachers’
pension fund or such

& blurt “I purchased it cuz
what I saw looked good!”

The Meeting


-Ah the quiet room! But are you sure...?

-We’re afloat in nothing.

-Well, what’s the emergency? Been some week!

-Market murdering us!

-Murdering the firm. There’s a difference.

-And regulators, and even FBI, descending.

-We have senators who’ll send immediate letters to head ‘em off..

-Might not be enough. Should we run things by the board?

-Ah yes the board! Individual accomplishments, collective stupidity.

-But we hafta tell ‘em something!

-No way. Increase amount of tips. Arrange for a conference in Paris,
nonsense agenda.

-But you acknowledge we’re in trouble?

-Firm is. Move up the bonuses.

-And the shareholders!

-As always, fuck them!

-Well we’re really getting conspired against.
I can tell you that.

-I’m willing to leave for hundred mil.

-I’ll put out the word.

-Fifty for you if we go together.

-Twins then!

-Life is beautiful, Brother!

POLITICIAN X WARNED WALL STREET REPEATEDLY!


Example:

Listen, you guys should perhaps take it just a little little easier.
Things maybe could begin to get a bit crazy.

The Mega-Maximum Screwing of John Q -- a kind of Psychodrama


Cast

John Q -- The Patsy

Wall Street -- The Criminal

Government -- The Enabler


Setting

Any Disgusting Place
...

Background Music, Kazoo, Sounds a Little Goofus to Me



JOHN Q (
Entering, skinny and harried)

Something brutal has barged up my rectum!

Cut music

Lights come up to reveal two enormously bloated, florid twins.

WALL STREET
Stop whining!

GOVERNMENT
(To Wall Street) I'll second that! And am I gonna show you
a few new tricks! For one thing, give you his money in order
for both of us to fuck him blind! Well, blinder.

JOHN Q
I can't see!

GOVERNMENT
That’s the idea.

WALL STREET
This is actually hilarious!

GOVERNMENT
Be careful! There's moral hazard in laughing at the lower orders.

JOHN Q
Can’t anyone help?

WALL STREET
Always with his hand out!

GOVERNMENT (to John Q)
Hey! It’s a democracy. Nobody preventing you from forming
a constituency with all the other losers!

WALL STREET
And Man do we love losers!

GOVERNMENT
Well, anyhow, after all the falderal and bailouts, o wondrous Money God, have you learned anything?

WALL STREET
Next time, steal more.

Music up full. Stars and Stripes Forever
