In front, caviar.
In back, some chopped-up fish bits.
Economy stinks.
"For your comfort, we ask . . ."
"For your safety, please return . . ."
(Sit down and shut up.)
Birds sing, and we wake.
Crickets chirp while we slumber.
Call chimes merely jar.
While you sit thirsty,
Behind the curtain they ask,
"Cristal or Cliquot?"
Wise men must travel
Like a bird, unencumbered.
Their bags went to Rome.
