Poem Number 326

Delicate Economies (reposted)

Truth.
-
We are ruled by delicate economies
companies, countries, households
precarious seesaw balances of revenue and expense
and time
-
mostly time
-
slaves to the fickle economies of season
that challenge both rhyme and reason
forced to spend both time and money
all of the time
which is
in fact
-
time
-
mostly time
-
lives.
-
yours, mine, everybody’s
spent ultimately to the penny
no personal or federal reserves to draw upon
exchanged
as legal tender for memories both sweet
and sour
time spent for food
lives exchanged for curly fries
sweet and sour
and power
-
No pork-barrel entitlements here
just precarious seesaw balances of revenue and expense
spending sprees of money
and time
-
mostly time
-
lives, really
-
Truth.
-
I believe that a revolution is in order.
Prepare your budgets.
Time
for
war.
