War Markets

War Markets

(Originally published in Mudlark)

Where were you born?

In what city

was the future written

on the hard,

cakey walls

of destiny’s

blind alleys?

Well, don’t worry —

International markets,

dizzylingly high

on their abstract

mountains

of profit

and gas —

have been teetering lately;

their great volumes —

stacked high as peaks —

are due for a crash.

Experts

all bitcoined (till last spring)

take to media,

and reassure, reassure —

while stocking secret fridges

in faraway

cottage-bunkers

with veggies, dried meat

and fruit ...

food, in the near future,

will be the new loot.
