Heir Apparent

If you think of Bill Gates’s net worth
And of everyone else’s net dearth,
It’s abundantly clear
From the numbers, I fear,
That the geek shall inherit the earth.


Indifference

Indifference fell
Into the well;
I thought I might retrieve it.
But what the hell,
I might as well
Just walk away and leave it.
