Tonight's Poet Corner: Market Trends

Market Trends by Belinda Roddie Rumor has it that there's an oversupply of skinny jeans, and the demand ain't high but the price has skyrocketed on candy bars (there's a chocolate shortage, you know). The stock market says that the Internet's out and the Neo-Internet is so very in. It's just like the Internet, only you pay in pieces of soul instead of seventy-five bucks a month - millennials are jumping at the deal. After all, they've clearly sold their humanity already to avocado toast and mimosas on Sundays while the wages get lower and there's no place like home (unless it costs one million dollars to own). So pay heed to the gurgling, writhing market - it's walking with a cane again after two broken legs and a tear in the groin. Raise a glass to the new economy! While the boomers are wondering why dirty socialism is back on the menu.
