Fragment of an Oz Ymandias
The prompt, from an Australian friend of mine (quoted with permission):

A first class traveller in a bespoke suit just got ushered into the line in front of me as we were boarding and everyone's bags were being inspected. He reluctantly opened his fancy gold carryon to reveal about 100 immaculately packed noodle soups and a Thermos of hot water. Play on playa -Leah Ginnivan
A first class traveller in a bespoke suit declared one hundred soup-of-noodle tins immaculately packed. Also en route a Thermos of hot water. He begins to open up his golden bag, a mute attest to un-self-conscious frugal mores which yet survive, stamped on this rich man's mind, from hands that fed him, hearts as sweet as fruit: In other travelers' minds, encomion: "O suitably-attired-in-bespoke-suit: Bring on those soups, you playa, and play on!" The travelers board the plane, slowly alight on seats assigned, with baggage stowed. The run- way smooths their vessel's passage into flight.
