another day, another bank failure.
who gets to bail this baby out?
'but there may be nothing to worry about!'
we're told
excitedly. the job market is tight,
we're told
but that means little
to me. I get this news from economic
podcasts, the hosts giddily explain--
we're told
how the firings are to be celebrated,
if you look at the big picture. I can hear the smile
in the voice: hyenas waiting for bones to be picked.
but, you realize, the hyenas do not know--
we all must
be macrominded
it seems. no time presently. hurry!--
this deal won't last.
