Murkiness below, selfish excess,

of so much to buy, so little need

yet media says to impress,

Coaching watches, silencing head sets,

like mink coats in California

pointless,

Still we strive to bring home more than,

can be carried or financed

to sway a neighbor’s grassland,

Where to put cartons, 

stripped, foam, packagimg

when all rivers run rotten?
