The One
The quintessential work of Capitalism
remains FIVE WHO DARED!
Four have left us, and bitter wives
and children.
The fifth transcends.
Aldo "Monds" Carachiolia!
He extorted his mother on her deathbed.
Comprises The Hall of Fame for now.

Goals
Kissing despicable
ass practically
forever, but attained
the inheritance!
Hey! Easy Street!
from here!
Uh huh?
Doesn't exist
in lives
sacrificed.

Up There Zip
The richest man in our affluent zip
has passed.
Pause for hallelujahs from Left!
Resume, then, for Senator Runcie to
speak glowingly on the legislative floor.
His cut continues from the Estate.
Treasury and FBI are digging up
the extensive gardens. Billion so far.
Uncle Sam, that kowtowing waiter, will
finally get a share.
Not off the top, of course.
That goes to Prophets of Profit, and other
“Conservative” Greed Avatars.
All high-tone, religious even, but not a worry
that grimier hands won’t mix in.
Under the Big Tent.

Primer on American Exceptionalism
-They closed down the government again!
-Did anyone notice? But, why do we live in such
crappy times?
-Don’t blame MY party. We’re not eating fire
and shitting gold bricks for our greedy clients!
-No, you’re just laying down.
-Sheer fatigue! Anyway, you deal with the
government you got! Just placed my nephew
in a department.
-Which one?
-Not saying. They’ll try destroying that one first.

Buying Time
Deal
-Amazing they could scour all the blood
from the Plaza’s stones. I strolled through
a wedding last week. Bride,
cream-ivory-white, her attendants peaches!
When the sun slid from
clouds, the effect was brilliant!

-Delicious sundae, yes? How...long
can Mars rest?
can Mars rest?
-Forever, unless goaded by Money’s usual insane rage for ever more.
-We’ll beg them sign a paper to say they’re satisfied.
-Get us a year, then?
-The youngsters can get wed, edging
out required suicidal patriotism for a bit.

-What he say on his deathbed?
-That, all rumors to the contrary, he overwhelmingly LOVED the Dog-Eat-Dog! Would’ve stayed in it even for no money.
-You believe that?
-Not completely. Gotta be a bone in there somewhere for dogs to truly snarl and fight.
-We’ll never see his like again.
-How about his dislike?
-Hated everybody!
-Well he gets an F-Plus!
-Which reverts to F when he gets forgotten
in a week?
-Is anyone remembered past then?
-Nope. That’s the outer limit.
-So? Carpe diem! Seize the day!
-You can’t say both, the Latin and translation.
One or the other!
-Didn’t know there was a rule.
-Definitely!

The Organization
-What am I to think in this tank?
-It'll come to you if you're really in the tank.
-A benchmark or two wouldn't hurt.
-What our benefactors do is sacrosanct.
-You mean even if their products kill?
-Especially then. You are to make
coherence out of greedy chicanery.
-Pays reasonably well. Many have put kids
through college with lies.
-We're building towards a philosophy,
of course. A systematic program to be
taught at universities.
-My strength is writing. I can write
the basic tome for such and...
-Forget it. We'll bring professors
on board then. They'll 180 for cash.
-Then I can fictionalize the principles
at that point. Knock three inches
from the thickness with some drama!
And the film will out-Fountainhead
The Fountainhead for the unwashed!
-No matter how thin or thick you slice it,
it’s still baloney!
-Is sarcasm the lingua franca of this institute?
-Of all haters.

Banker and Assistant
BANKER
We lu-UVE Republicans! They put true-believer hacks in
to pretend regulation. We make mega tons of hay while
the sun shines!
ASSISTANT
Unfortunately, sky got totally black ultimately!
BANKER
Then the Democrats brought light!
ASSISTANT
In the form of rescue moolah. Pure gold!
BANKER
We can't lose. Grateful to both. As their campaigns will realize.
ASSISTANT
Too bad there had to be such greed, stupidity and incompetence
in banking!.
BANKER
Where was that, exactly?
ASSISTANT
Not in this office of course!
BANKER
What’s that old expression? Money never lost a war?
ASSISTANT
Just knock off the predicate off that sentence. Money never lost, period!
BANKER
You are learning the advanced grammar of Capitalism!
ASSISTANT
It’s a short book.
BANKER
And brutal!--I remind you.
ASSISTANT
Why we even want our Little League team to fight to the death!
BANKER
Bet your ambitious ass!

I Wonder About Roswell Too
Probably fits Great American Tradition
of Coverup. & its corollary: Jerk
people around long enough & all
eventually croak.
If it happened today, GREED-Os
‘d parachute in & kidnap the aliens.
Later exhibiting them on Pay-for-View.
