you get nothing

the will states clearly who
gets what
when the old man dies, which
may be never.
but there it is in black and white,
witnessed
notarized, stamped with a legal
smudge of ink
pressed down.
most get nothing, while a few
get the rest, which
is everything.
no crumbs will fall off this
thick big sandwich of dough
rey me.
it's been decided, so put
your forks and knives down.
it's too late to make amends.
