Did my poem wound Wall Street?

[Robert Urbanek]

A few years ago, I posted this poem on several platforms:

industry

if many sex partners
need protection
if many trade partners
need protectionism

otherwise get
acquired industrial
deficiency syndrome

service sector fat
replaces
manufacturing muscle

body vulnerable
to parasites
derivatives traders
hedge fund managers

young cells struggle
as energy directed
to the old and dying

I suspect the verses somehow made their way into Trump’s inner circle and reinforced his belief that tariffs were great and beautiful.

I doubt it wounded Wall Street, but it is a good poem.

Good work! Crack another one out!
