it does not matter
how lovely you are
if the price is 10 euro
the price is ten euros

it does not matter
how cheap and greedy
you are..if the price is..
the price IS..

it does not matter
what liars and hypocrites
the price is 10 dollars
10..

shout and scream
have a baby
the price is the price
is 10 dollars..

o lily is experiencing
some resistance in the market
place-sales are down..
i don´t make the effing rules..!?

but in these hard times a book
of poems is way down on
the list of priorities-the food bank
a blot on creation..
