Paper Blood

Way back in the 80's I used to drive in to San Francisco, sometimes I took Bart...anyway, one time I was sitting there in traffic, and I noticed a homeless guy going through a dumpster, and on the left, a stretch limo.... with two poodles in the back! with their froo-froo haircuts, obviously back from their groomer, the driver looked straight ahead as he waited there in traffic...
Meanwhile the homeless guy rummaged through the garbage bin...
It struck me at the time as incredibly ironic...shouldn't the Man be in the car? and the Dogs be over there in the bin?
No, this time, not here. It was all about the Money...
Money allowed the dogs to have the Limo, and the lack of Money caused the guy to be homeless...
Money is like Blood...Paper Blood...it flows through society and through our very lives, like blood through our veins.
It's what we need, it's what we want...It cuts through every aspect of everyday life...if you have some, you're cool...if you have none, you're screwed..
Paper Blood.
