Opportunity Knocks
Hey, and people thought the corporate law of Delaware was so great.
It aint nothing like Delaware Antarctic!
Hell, your Delaware Antarctic company can do just about any old thing. We calls ‘em “limiteds” but that’s only as it relates to liability, am I right?
And you can keep all your profits on ice! Not a tax in sight! Not even capital gains!
‘Course we’re only dealing with short-term gains right now, the whole damn thing so… fresh, you know what I mean?

Diatribe of sorts for Brendan’s much more thoughtful prompt on Real Toads to write something stemming from planetary destruction. Picture is mine, charcoal, chalk and oil pastels on paper, 2017, all rights reserved.
Process note–Delaware is famous for the flexibility of its corporate law, making it a favorite jurisdiction in the U.S. and perhaps even the world for incorporation of companies. Also, historically, there have been different U.S. tax rates for short-term and long-term capital gains. Finally, of course, there’s that great big piece of ice now floating around.

Fragile Things
Civil rights,
a neck, a spine,
a species.

What I sometimes fail to notice in my moroseness

Tags: http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com, love poem about corny eyes, manicddaily, thank you dear, what I don't notice in my moroseness
What I sometimes fail to notice in my moroseness
The corn
in the corner of your eye;
the joke that floats in that blue
trying to rescue me from mine;
the bird song not made by my phone–
actually I do listen to it–but which,
in the absence of the smiles that glisten
on your fingertips, often lures me
into loss;
the sauce that is your teasing
of my bemoan;
your seriousness that says, but we are here now.
