Green Cheese

Flitterbug.

The Commerce student
Is a parasite
Upon the tail
Of Business.
He lives in hope
Some casual flick
Will set him on
The beastie's back
Where
He can feel
Highly Important.
The beastie lives
On green things.
The Commerce student
(Too knowing to be red)
Soon is flicked
Into the beastie's
Important places.
Does it matter?
For him no Heaven
Or Hell—
A Double Entry System
For full-sized souls.
He has no soul
Above the halfpennies
That weight him so
He slides
Along his slanted lines
Only in one direction,
Downwards—
To where?
Does it matter?
He has no soul.
