Take an ancient iPod
(click wheel!),
splash a few words
on Craigslist,
wait a short while
and it transforms
into fifty dollars
which morph into
a bottle of fine
Tennessee whiskey,
a haircut, cigarettes
and change.
Economists call these
transactions.
Alchemists called them
transmutations.
I call them proof
that miracles
still exist
in the ordinary.
I will now
have a drink,
light a smoke
and luxuriate
in just what is...
