034 :: The Poor

Peter opened his Skroll.  He tapped.  The screen changed to blue.  He typed in two languages.  Naomi read the screen as he typed.

We are the poor.  They have to have poor people so they choose to have us.  Beautiful poor people.  Not ugly.  Not angry.  Any mistake and we are gone.  The rest of the poor come in by train.  The people picking the food in the shop we will soon collect were brought in by train this morning.  Every morning they spend hours commuting to work for next to nothing.

We are the poor people who can make it better.  London is an experiment in extreme capitalism.  If it succeeds the world will follow.  We are on the inside.  It is our duty to fight it.

Peter closed his Skroll.  They sat in silence and watched the water flow like so many had done before them.  Watched the waters of the Thames flow to the ocean.  Back and forth with the tide.
