blue money

Status Report 27

Take deep toke
hold the smoke

slo-mo go in warming lope
of first lap in new day pre-sun play

life’s not bad
they’re not too mad

and they let me in on the joke
though I’m the punchline

I don’t mind
cuz I’m not pigging their poke

nor their kneading greed
or hearing unheed

they’re holding the short end of the rope
no matter what they prey

as I float around Rumi
in Sufi soak
