SILVER

I have awakened Today

with The Weight of Silver

on Me & in Me

–

I must lug My Self

out from under

My Silver Comforter

–

to pee in The Bathroom

–

to pull out My Chair

from under My West Desk Window

to write The Transmutation

of The Shower of Silver Lights

crashing down around Me

now pulling Me bodily down

into My 144 Pounds:

–

I am worth My Weight in Silver

I am 2304 Ounces of The New Age
