Buy and Sell

The Comodities Exchange has gone awry.

I’ve been looking at

the architecture

on which my life

is based,

down to the gut of it.

 

Simple, in reality.

 

I buy, for a price,

the commodity

of other people’s presence,

and I pay whatever price

plus a tip.

 

By the time

I fully realize

the con,

down to the gut of it,

I’m not even surprised.
