John Bertin Poet Prose Poetry

Money

I like money
it's the enabler alligator
the alligator bites
anyone who doesn't feed it

I trust money
it says "In God We Trust"
getting a camel through the eye
of needle must be easy

I am money and I talk
I am time and the river
the sun and the moon and the stars
do you have time to talk to me?
