Premium MemberA billion Dollar Soul

A billion can buy a bushel of silence 
hectares of prime farmland or flashy private jets 
It can buy a turd in stilettos and a pyrite hearted mistress.

A billion can buy you a secondhand spaceship
or an endless good run of wall street luck 
it can buy a bloated lip- plastic nips and butts.

With a billion

THE US DOLLAR

I am the US dollar
And I'm shrinking fast
One because of
Inflation and high interest rates
Pretty soon I won't
Be worth anything

Premium MemberWalking Miles in the Dollar Store

For three hours, I wait.
Is patient the word?
A friendly face, too soon?
Still, when your old
you have no time

for particulars, need to tell
your story to who will listen;
and walk miles and miles
of aisles in the dollar store
where your friend
never goes; and you tell

her about the rose;
and eventually
Mary and Martha meet,
having never crossed paths
before, and
probably nevermore this

The Crime of a Dollar

The wealth of nations was once rooted
In toil, in grain, in honest trade.
But now—behold the phantom coin,
A paper god by empire made.

No longer tethered to gold or grace,
It floats on faith, or rather fear.
A dollar, born of ink and bluff,
Commands the world to bend and kneel.

This is not free exchange,
But a theft dressed in robes

Five dollar words to say I've lost you

My dearest love,

I pray that theses words find the strength to covey beyond the mere definitions they keep. I seem to have lost you in a riddle, a battle of inability's. or at the very least I've misplaced you within corrupted ideas of what you and i once were, a totality thru a proximity of

Premium MemberYellow A Breathless Color

"Yellow is a bright and fun color to enjoy." By Poet

Yellow is my husband's favorite color,
my fun surprise was going to cost more than a dollar.
We were dating and he was coming to see me,
I was dressing in all yellow looking like a big bee.
When he got off the airplane,
he said - you look breathless

Premium MemberThe Symbol

In 
Masonic tradition,
the pyramid represents wisdom
on the back of the dollar bill you see
an edifice with the tip of the pyramid detached,
a searching eye is in the tip of the detached pyramid
Our nation should ever be searching for the divine wisdom
that humanity needs,  which will make the pyramid complete


seek wisdom and
lay dormant blind Ignorance~

Premium MemberMillion Dollar Voices


I met a homeless man whose name
I don't recall, but he had what sounds like
A million dollar voice.

I met Cal who said he was an electrician
which is not a career requiring great voice quality;
But he had a million dollar voice.

Tim used to own a swimming pool business.
He was homeless when I met him.
But he had

Premium MemberThe 100 Dollar Bill

I only got a Blue Cheese 
and I need a burger bad
said he’d only take Dixie
or a Jackson at a push
now I’m beggin’ on my knees
but don’t wanna make him mad
I’m in a foodie fixie
but he said “go kiss my tush”

Premium Membercan you imagine a ten thousand dollar bill

The largest bill I have seen personally is a hundred- dollar bill
I do not like them
They are not as easy to spend as a twenty-dollar bill
Or a five- dollar bill
The largest denomination circulated was the ten-thousand-dollar bill
I would like to see a photo of one of these
But would not like to try and spend it
The

Premium Membertwo thousand dollar insurance perk

My husband has a perk with his insurance
They provide two thousand dollars worth of free stuff a year
We think vitamins are included, they are not
We think Kleenex are included.
We are also wrong.
My husband discovers they have their own store.
Everything in this store is fair game to be free.
I sit at a computer for a couple

Dollar Collar

My optics are fooling me,

Intuition eluding me,

Life is confusing me.

I step inside to see,

Whats off with my energy,

As this feeling pulls at me.

Facing everyday tiredly,

Fighting to get ahead,

Hurrying to be dead.

As Money drowns all i did,

Keeping me in this pit,

Fighting my Spirit.

I've had enough of it,

I don't even like it,

It's only creating conflict.

No one else

Nah it aint that
if you wanna be
real and all
you tell me to
call you on the telly

when I call
Change the definition
of Love

All that woman is

Dude tryna build
a relationship

too slow
or he moving to fast

You're still the one

Premium MemberA Lucky Penny

I stumbled upon a lucky penny
Yesterday, after the party.
I hesitated before I picked it up
For many reasons; maybe that's the hope,
For something much bigger to land in my nest.
Later on, I decided to visit an outlet,
To buy some flowers for my Princess.
The roses were on sale for twenty bucks;
In my left pocket, in my expensive
