Money

stealing my 
own savings 
finding hidden
stashes under
mattresses and
door mats that
read WELCOME

smashing my
piggie bank
really a ceramic
sloth with a slot
but smashing it
twice so to get
making sure every

cent saved now
to be spent just
to see possible
rumors of a spot
on the far right
of her right
breast

perhaps a birth
mark but mark
my words as if
travelling to the
dark side of the
moon soon to
lose commun

ication 
    breaking
      up but 
   it looks
 as if 
     it is 
the

devil's 
kiss

But I was actually thinking of the album "Dark Side of the Moon"; thus the title "money".

As you enter her orbit she should be able to view Uranus.

Lol Richard. I actually wear to work a t-shirt that read: KEEP THE EARTH CLEAN... IT'S NOT URANUS.
