That dream? It's never enough.
Some scientists say the whole dang thing
will go down in history as an enormous burden.
The unwashed tide crawls past strip malls
at a relentless pace, extreme obesity
and plenty of crap--leather chairs,
baby-blue polo shirts, lotions and ointments,
ice clinking, a sexy Southwest glamour.

"It would be folly, once and for all, over!"
caution widely regarded blue-ribbon panels.

fantastic jobs throw up their hands.

"In the future, a lack of goods and services
will be a major concern."
Scientists ask, "Wouldn't competing institutions
be created by the departure?"
Disinclined to believe, fat people with
existing conditions and new eating habits
shrug with a final satisfied slurp.
