As i lay in bed this morning i wondered
why god didn’t give me a bigger toe
perhaps i could get an enhancement
it looks about average
and my readings and measurements
back this up
how did i ever arrive at this lack?
not tall enough
not smart enough
not rich enough
not big enough
and i imagine if their is a god
he is disappointed with my vanity
At the Hermitage
fell asleep
in front of the fire
listening to the
Goldberg Variations
by a Canadian pianist Glen Gould
while reading
Billionaires are Bad
by canadians
Linda McQuaig &
Neil Brooks
B.
while i was asleep
i could hear the birds
flying around the cabin
at one point i had to get off the couch
and direct the yellow one
June, back to the cage
C.
I awoke just after midnight
took off my clothes and
went to bed with a glass of
cran- pomegranate,
mixed with S. Pellegrino
D.
I finished the Trouble with Billionaires
which logically encourages
an egalitarian civilization
which the US and Britain are not
through more progressive taxation
News Flash
no estate tax in canada since 1972 and when the
“NDP considered including
a pledge to restore the estate tax
the media heaped scorn on the idea
and the NDP quickly beat a full retreat.” p.231
Winner Take All
Fortunes are not accumulated in a vacuum,
one individual should not claim
all the rewards for a single idea or invention
and since the financial markets are only possible through regulation and enforcement,
and since private property is protected by the state
progressive taxes should be used
to recognize the debt the well heeled
have to society
Brian Mulroney did not help…
paper bags of money.
A Short Poem
Religion and money
are all tied up.
