Dogpaddlers
dogpaddlers in a sea of cellphones,
dollar bills eager as mosquitoes,
what a vulnerable underbelly,
what braggart confidence:
to chain the short term gain
to the long term zero
with the interest rate of our souls.
the illusion gets pushed so fast
over an abyss of compulsion,
below the brainstorm of competence--
a fatalism so toothy,
so cruel and voracious,
it lurks far too inconceivable
under the masquerade of the hi.
