Micronomics




Perhaps the crash of twenty-nine


came from a trickling up the line


of laborers who sent their cash


to Wall Street, turning in their stash


from the mattress or the coffee tin.


Investing with the richest men


in hopes they'd pay back even more


was just a pipe-dream of the poor.


The proof was something of a joke:


only the rich did not go broke.
