The Vanity of Human Wishes
Transient power,
ephemeral riches,
exceptionally applaudable
academic accolades.
Delicate and fashionable
model sweethearts
clad scantily and glamorously
in the best of the very best of
iconic labels.
Executive and business class
four-wheeled modern coaches
designed for bodily comfort
in mobile indoor spaces.
Exquisite abodes of Biltmore
standards.
Superlative golden neck bracelets
and costly wrist hour bands
fashioned as well crafted fetters
by taskmasters and fleeting
gods of a material world.
All in the form of subsumed desires
in a youthful dream,
contained in nothing more
than this organic pile of dust.
