We don't have to be falsely mistrustful,
or hold significant temporal power,
or even own hotels on which we refuse
to honour our creditors, to be thin skinned
to the point of paranoia with a media
whose remit is to point out the foibles
of the rich and famous, with humour.
There the poor, who have to have
thicker skins, whatever the colour,
to withstand their relative poverty,
and laugh at the absurd behaviour
of those living on absurd levels of wealth
that they know they are not going to enjoy any other way.
