nietzsche

money bleeds.

money bleeds
through child
and mother
money bleeds
through airports
and hair salons
leaking through
politicians mouths
space shuttles, toy stores
money bleeds
like ink
through literature
love and lounge chairs
money bleeds
quarters and dimes
through governors
protestors and saturday night
money drips
over mansions and denim
finest silk and cancer remedies
yachts and malamutes
kings and freedom
money bleeds
through black
and white
and red
and ballots
money bleeds
through manicures
supermarkets
mcdonalds and advertisements
money pools
on kitchen floors
bathroom stalls
photo shoot diamonds
pistol, barrel, and rose
money bleeds
through lenses
letters and lamentations
money bleeds
like honeysuckle
fathers tears
and abortion cribs
money bleeds
in queer attire
blue blood
orchids and oleander
money bleeds
like no blood
has bled
erasing
removing
dripping molten gold
money bleeds
like pastels
oil paintings
so-called modern art
potato skins
and freckles
money bleeds
unnoticed at dinner
pass the salt
a grain of silver
filling your stomach
money bleeds
morning, night
twilight and dusk
money bleeds
the cure, the conquest
the price, the sale
boxes, boards, and brocade
money bleeds
pencil leads
broken headboards
latex and lace
money bleeds
through mice, in a room
on t.v. on your cheek
money bleeds
hearts, stars and needles
ice tea and treason
money bleeds
war, world peace
and welcome mats
money leaks
from the faucet
from the static
cloud of smoke
money feigns interest
in conversations
book appraisals
contracts and French mints
money bleeds
pregnancy, pills
prescriptions, pirates,
planes, and pearls
money forms
clots of promise
bank accounts
land owners and homes
lawyers and housewives
littlerock and license to kill
money bleeds
window panes
shattered glass
and early epitaphs
money bleeds
morgues, medicine
middle eastern
united states
sycophants
money bleeds
breeds, bribes
bubbles and bursts
all over the deal
money bleeds
manipulation
and graham crackers
pretty snowflakes
administered intravenously
money bleeds
colored fabric
hunting knives
and incorrect usage
money bleeds
in your arms
in your home
in your god
in your sex
in your life
money bleeds
scrutinizing
every aspect
of the lie
the exchange
poor promises...

money bleeds-
leaving anemic
presidents
everywhere.
