Here We Are

We have come with cash in hand and palms upturned
The Twenty-Nothings, Fear-Godders,
Progenitors-Turned-Inventors, Goddamn
Omnipotent Creators of this OverTheCounterCulture.

We are stone deaf to silver-tongued devils
and cynical beyond reason of realism
and all that was implied about the good life,
all the high-gloss card stock that built
our parents houses can be found in our junk drawer.
(Good luck getting that one open).
