The new dream
is to begin as a tiny, merely human part of the whole
and then you make so much money
that you become More Than Merely Human
you
in fact
become A Great Generator of Value
and then you look at the whole
and you say to yourself,
"This is bullshit. I am the whole!!!"
so you buy the whole
and then you realize the whole that you have purchased is hopelessly more complicated than you expected
that you
in fact
have not a whisper of a pale fart's notion
of how to make that whole function
and so
it all comes crashing down around your stupid ears
but that's okay
because the essential truth
of your profound-abiding-sustaining contempt
for everything/everyone outside of yourself
has
at long last
achieved
adequate expression
in the world
outside your brain
which is some kind of achievement
at least
you know
you think so,
at any rate
