all we care about is money
bacon, bank, bones, bread, bucks
cash, clams, coin
dead presidents, dinero, dollar, dough
everything runs on
funds, financials, facts, they want the
green bills
hedge equity
including liquid assets
just because we
keep believing
loot is loot and
moola matters
never trust the
ones without the
paper rectangles
question those with no
resources
something is wrong if they’ve got no
treasure
unless this whole construct is
vapid
what if we
x-ray the system and this
yearning for money isn’t worth
zilch?

Downtown Santiago, Chile
polka-dotted white shirt collar
in the rain, little black bits of
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen
oxide, liquid smog clears the
Andean air, never knew the
mountains were there before
storms of winter, when all
is pure again, I wait for the
micro (bus), slicked hair under
umbrella, leather jacket like
a Russian made man to hustle
on these Spanish speaking streets
in transit to work for finance
power company, electricity and me
daydreaming of Neruda in dirty drips
of sky just asking, why? why?
