Capitalism is a funny word
The kind that you throw around to sound fancy
with your pinky raised whilst you sip green tea
out of your bone (or is it off-white?) porcelain teacup.
What does it mean to mean?
Contemplate this cuddled under your quilt from IKEA
wake up, startled, kicking yourself out of a fall
because, darling, you do not mean anything at all.
