#714 a jolly good fellow's dream

masqueraded intellectuals
gesturing stemless wine glasses to no one
upside down penguins
marching with briefcases under-arm
spiral stairs twist and turn
as stars fall like sparks from a birthday-cake sparkler
and the fat candles outweigh the cake
usefulness
as judged by society
faded to black yesterday
