They’re telling each other
about their favourite finance apps
saying things like ‘trade’ and ‘interest rates’.
The starch in their ironed shirts screams
when they high-five to the word ‘dividend’.
The landlord asks them to keep it down
and the one on the left calls him a ‘prick’
while the one of the right wipes cocaine
from his moustache.
