plutus and penia

"being poor is how much you give and being rich is how much you take"

is what they say

as I watch 2 homeless man fight over 20 dollars

one pushes the other back into a concrete wall

his skull cracks and rose petals fall out

onto a rich mans dessert

he puts it into his mouth and swallows it whole

just like he will swallow this earth 

and all the people on it

until he is full enough.
