Trillionaire Serfdom

A thousand in my lifetime was a large number.

Of dollars.

A thousand of them was a bit quite bigger.

That then was a million.

And that was once really big.

It was still really big when I was little.

It was big even when I was bigger.

But the really big number then was a thousand million.

It was a billion, oh glorious, it was a billion.

How passé.

Most guys' boats cost about half a billion.

So, I guess a thousand billion must be the next measure.

Of elitedom.

Of serfdom.

Of the distance between us.

And that number is so big, I don't think we can wiggle out.

This time.
