Yuppie Dragons And Paper Mountains
by Gerry Mattia
Climb mountains!
Slay Dragons!
That's what I did
When I was a kid
Now it's too much
All this grownup stuff
Amalgamations
Corporations
Business-like murder
under the guise of merger
Micro-second chattel battles
waged on computer panels
Flash before my eyes
In a plate glass high-rise
Now all my mountains are made of paper, and
all my dragons wear ties

I found this online on an international poets website and really enjoyed it. However, there was little information about the author. If anyone has any info, I'd like to have it. I have written to the website owner where I found it, but have heard nothing as of yet.
