Eris threw a golden apple
inscribed with the words
‘to the ugliest’
onto the floor
of the New York stock exchange
police have sealed off the building
to contain the damage
but they haven’t shut off the cameras
so we can watch money eat itself
(2024)
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
(Jan 2022)
