On the occasion to be a banker
holding pennies for the the penniless
copper disks conducting
affluence and gravy with the roast
soft to the butter knife
yet so chewy that it takes hours
just to swallow.
Realizing that it's time to be franker
I count, straightforwardly, the value of accounts
an objective guideline
to establish among us who is truly wealthy
and intercept money not proper
redirecting it to a closet
where it can be found and stolen later.
The afternoon sun makes me a forsaker
willing to stay upon the carefully clipped grass
talking of my past experience
and how it makes me wiser
but not smart enough
to get back into the building
when my break is through.
