WALL STREET-WASHINGTON

by David S. Pointer


The superiority complex
housing sustainable
economic exploitation
has energy escaping
like a scavenger gas
as Wall Street appoints
Timothy Geithner for
bank to bank resuscitation
and nobody clears
poverty's airway
just the pockets
of the global poor


David S. Pointer is a sociologist. Recent poems have appeared in Illya's Honey, Skidrow Penthouse, and elsewhere.
