tax fraud and the heat death of the universe

bones have been chemically weakened
and left to bleach beneath the neon sun
in this bloated land of greedy titans
the trophy hunt has just begun

down vexing, well-lit trails
endorsed and fully baited
by those who answer only to themselves
and entropic ultimatums

at least until the numbers show
collateral deflation
