13,536. LABOR-INTENSIVE EASE

LABOR-INTENSIVE EASE
In the same way they used to sell
bonds to elders  -  'coupon-clippers,'
they were called. The old folk, with
their coupon books to redeem with.
No work, just clip. Now they sell
the advertising twiddle-twaddle of
any misfit who will do the job. All
so frightfully honest. All work and
no play, makes Jack a fool today.
-
Money comes in the same doorway
from which it also leaves. Death and
taxes? No beginning, one big end.
-
That fat guy, the swami with the
temple along the edge of town, he
ropes them in with a magic wand:
Detachment and transcendental ease;
waiting, but not too long, for
whatever will occur.
