Collateral damage in the wake
of a landslide
Back wheels stick,
bind,
while
front wheels
stutter & twitch.
Gnarled, arthritic hands
tell a story punctuated by
cracked nails and
fresh bruises;
she
pushes her world
in her own
Safeway.
Sweat from her matted hair
slices its way
down coarse & painful
wrinkles.
On my mega yacht,
sipping the perfect Martini,
stirred, never shaken.
Bright sunlight refracts
a single drop of water,
slowly repelling down the
crystal stem.
Trickle down
Reaganomics
