an economic an'a-list of things recorded
that t-rump-issed on the economic wall-street
....to play the orchestrated dis-chord movements
in 'bank-erupts foreclosure' symphonic music creations....
of a hollywood background moaner and groaner opera
sounding notes of a knotty volunteer financial fall guy
living off a billion dollar bank credit card
that's now been cancelled being that everything ends
stan sand
My box is like no other.
No tool, no food, no undesirable mood
Is stored in my box.
It’s not a drawer,
It harbors no smelly odors
Nor rusty nails, no heartfelt letters
Are left weeping like a thawing spring.
It’s not a bank, so don’t even consider
Harvesting its sumptuous treasure.
Its contents are waves of symphonic music
Left dormant like a seed,
Then awakened to blossom
With the light of spring.
Like a whiff of clean air,
I devour it like bread,
It’s like the dawning of a new day
Each time I open its lid.
I seldom disturb its deep slumber
Nor treat it with disrespect.
As I stare into its belly,
I see silent faces,
Places I know,
A fragrant rain – a melting snow.
The chill of living is set aglow
When visited by memories
That one never lets go.
