My words
are uselessness
they are
idle laborers in wait
for the fickle finger game:
"I'll take you, and you, and you"
the moneyman has randomized
who will work
who will eat
who just wants a bag of wine
and I, the author -
overseer --
wrinkling my nose
and touch
is life of layers under grime
and increments of time that I
have hamstered on a squeaking wheel
disguised --"accomplishment".
