dirty money

they will come one evening

with a dump truck

back it up to your house

and pour out the money

take it

take the dirty money

spend it wrong

spend it madly, wrongly

on matches for bridges

on ladders not for your own feet but for the next and the next ones

let them give you the only thing they have

as you win their game then pocket the dice and run

ask for more

spend it all

buy pitchforks
