Our own lability (a #poem)

Do Chinese get American take out?
Do the Dutch themselves 'go Dutch'
and what do the French call 'French kissing'?

Borders shift
as frequently as the meaning
of words like 'respect' and 'woke'
and a millionaire 
with more debt than assets
is not called broke

There is no limit to human stupidity
We have lost all credibility
and can only laugh
at our own lability
