The titles come
rights granted once
removed with tax
interspersed
in the reign
the rain of bills


Do it yourself
after all is said
much goes unaccomplished
when words transcribe
merchant heads nod
paper is glossed
something reported
scheduled, taxed
wrong again this year

Gathered then bound
supposedly read
one galley then another
until someone disbelieved
for identity purposes
and the title comes
at the beginning
tax at the end
after bills
tardy but sure
done but left out
incomplete
closed to you
earn, loss, debt
loss, earn, kept
yet titles disappear.

Oh, dear. I guess I best bite the bullet and dig into all the paperwork and receipts and "get the party started".

It's good to see you posting again, my fellow Canadian!
