if you can't see... an echo chamber...
weaving its ***** grub...
and legs... around on this site...

it's not that i mind.... but there's a strait-jacket
of an echo chamber
clearly roving on this website...

succumb to the comment
section of it... if you must...
the usual suspects are, almost, leftover...
in that... they will remain:
retaining their social pressure
cursors...

never... acknowledge
your presence to "them"... they forth and breed
of the "all inclusive we"...

it's almost akin to...
making a fetish
from a david attenborough narrative...
so much for you liking
the sophistry of christopher hitchens...
when you just have to succumb
to the hitchens suffix...
never mind a christ from a peter...

just watch them gloat...
centipede roam with...
appreciative comment sections being
congested...
to the demands of the "deaf and blind"...
reader... the papillon...

   an angry self-emulated choicest
rattle of ******* and the 6 face-off
die... that each and self-help
guru ******* without
a help of a woman could ever
become this... gratifying!

romancing the ******...
otherwise: bachelor loitering
toward the cul de sac of
economy:
               fathom: my inability
to spend money...
i only save up pennies and copper
drifts of concern for the worth
of loitering better use of
iron come the nail and not the coinage!

it's not that i don't have the money
to spend...
but it's that i don't have the money
i'd want to... spend...
all for the eyes... to be plucked out...
to be... made... regurgitated
worm ****!

            of the money i have i almost
"forgot" to want to spend...
why entertain the existence of
resturants... when...
i cook better?
          why spend for the affair
of attending to: being seen...
of the limbo-lease - for what privy...
for what... ease of the tuxedo to be
donned... to be worn...
to be tired of...
  to be lemon and a squint eyed:
sooner a beijing hybrid pon-pon
after-party lot...

             there is an echo chamber and that's:
hardly one of anyone's concerns
for the meteriological prophets of groom...
grooming the umbrella to
the tailored out-and-about... fitting of shoeshine
and crease-cotton "books"...

never a knack at things... except when...
it came to becoming a...
sloppy second known best: mummy...
and... mother goose... jotted down: towing:
a jettison jefferson...
because captain ****** obvious
had the time-ref. cursor to mind:
england, 1960s... and england...
and england... of course!

i truly forgot... how one was supposed
to spend money...
i never had enough of it to simply...
show-it-off...
as money not spent...
as money discarded: come about
by chance...
and... all the better!
a money not honestly earned...
is a money most honestly...
not spent...
    better ways to simply...
******* with it into a tide of
gambling...
        the honesty of the government...
and the honesty of the recipient...
these words...
are my only prized honesty...

to be rich to be rich...
             what joy is there to spend...
when there's just as much joy from
saving... the rainy day... the rainy day...
to have only enough to buy bread
and butter's worth of it...

           the luxury of the opera...
the luxury of: it has become...
with what the football players get paid...
the luxury of a football match...
i don't have enough money
to "know" or enjoy spending...
death-head of economy:
i don't have enough to spend:
all enough to save...
      then again...
i don't want to spend what's...
buying up the corpse of nostalgia
of... classic english prog rock...
without buying into the beatles and...
that... "alternative"...

                i pray to the mammon that
i find to be a coin-flip and god...
for all the money in the world...
i have just enough: the bearable minimum...
and of that which i have...
i known the laced rubric of how...
to spend it...
or keep me... satisfied...
any more? i wouldn't know...
mammon and his zodiac bride: libra...

give me 20 pebbles for 19 peanuts!
and for that... a sri lankan elephant to boot!
money...
     it's so ingenius for people who...
spend it...
counter the people who save up on it...
and... the people...
who find it the forever...
uncomfortable transvaluation of all
values...
        a gold nugget is more than
a gold nugget: should it also be a postcard
with a king's effigy strapped to it...
  emboldened to... somehow...
soften the "plague" of a sunset...
    
          worth! i don't know how
to spend money!
perhaps because i never had enough...
to spend it on... so... a many...
futile matters of pseudo-adventures!

i'll know the difference between...
a sparrow's crown
and a swallow's orb;

there's still an echo-chamber on this site...
claustro-philic, perhaps.
