Excerpt from "The Great Game"

Was he true or just
a clever shill?

Some interpolate "cha-ching,
cha-ching, cha-ching" as
music. And some music,
"cha-ching." For others,
it's all one big Chinese
ideogram, and Marx
was a brute and a slob,
whereas Smith was humble,
not intoxicated.

Nonetheless, one aspires to supply
something someday
in demand.

I'll take a Morgan or
a Rockefeller or a Vanderbilt
or a Soros over
Murdoch, Pickens, and Sinclair
anyday.
