Raw Currency

Raw Currency

I don’t know what currency is fraudulent

If it is spent borrowing

More than it paid for

All loose calculations

Buried beneath honest advice

What could as failed as proven

Before it could seize true worth

Animate me from silence

And the offer of a new question

Festering through a landscape

What have you purchased me for?

Save what you can and live within me

Surely own what is my liberty

Strung out to delight

Amorphous and elated

By your presence
