affluent

we watch the race from the sidelines
having no wish to run it

who can be
the prettiest
the thinnest
the richest
the most

with all the things
upon their backs
to weight them

these Joneses keep
on running
til their feet
are bloodied stumps

the zombie marathon
rushes past

my friends and I
sip our lemonade
and enjoy the parade
affluent in a different currency
