Bout the interest rates
Of men in suits
Playing games of chance
Trying on futures
- Yours and mine -
For bigger house
Thinner wives
Who play the curve*
Like a slip and slide
Who juggles balance books
An intricate
Ballet
Even as fire
Consumes the stage
Audience chokes
No applause-
Too audacious
it leaves us gasping.
Taught my kid
Correlation
Is not causation
Bout folks playing
R2
Con-fi-dence
Peer review
A trip tease
Shame
With no ending
Fake or real
All is artifice
Keep the lights low
Don’t want black and white
Ready for a rainbow
Truths
Encrusted in place
In communities of care
And the land beneath your feet.
