Lunch Crumbs

By Michael K. Gause

I.
Pasty white men shot
Into suits
Sausages Bluetooth toward the future
Rightfully paved

II.
Stumbling gentry
Have Eskimo Pie lunch dates
With oblivion

III.
Tiny women keep
Company with chimps
Success promised more than
This pimping

IV.
Homeless promenade
Every can’s a hope
The leg up
Everyone else has been given

V.
And now it’s the future
Armani spacemen
Bounding toward ennui
