Minutes Sizzle and Flip and...

you lament

the gold

diamond ring

fur coat...

the big house

jaguar

and all that

you’d have

given up

for them...

and you and

us too

prayin’ for

the lot

to bubble

up as...

decimals

commas

dollar signs

and while you

brew the 

daily grind...

there is

only one 

value

worth its salt

you pause

behind the

counter...

so distant 

anyhow

running out

the door

down stage right

Goodbye...

kisses blow

like grains

of sand 

underfoot

of that

lost childhood...

this is your

summer

staykation

your life

winding down

the shift...

erosion 

of your 

wishes and

dreams of

worldly

lifelong things...

heavy

feelings of

sweat beads

and sore feet

you won’t

be leaving...

Time will

come for you’re

well done

and burnt as

shown with

perfection...
