Ethos Arbitrage

Emoted investment
dividends high
Buying then selling
as spirit contrives

Unlimited resource
consciousness fares
In debits and credits
— whose riches ensnare

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)
Form: Rhyme


Buying Time

In debt to the moment,
invoice inscribed…
tomorrow defaulting,
old debits a lie

The hour upon us
whose present awaits,
all payments in cash
—forever rebates 


(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Form: Rhyme

Balance Sheet Karma

Reconciling
life’s ledger
hoping 
it’s in black

Every deed
and every need
accountable
in fact

Debits
fighting credits
to balance
in the end

The jist of life
through joy and strife
where numbers
— will portend

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)

Ledger

eventually, you have to give back
for something that you took
when you're totaling up the ledger
numbers in your account book
the columns are too long
no mathematical symmetry
debits outweighing credits
if you took more than you need

I'm not saying
I didn't see you flinch
I'm not saying 
you weren't there in a pinch
I'm not saying
you didn't budge an inch
all I'm saying
is it shouldn't end like this
