it
carries the smell
of
sweat ink and hands
the
knees and lower back
know
the feeling
sometimes
the hands
go
numb thinking that
there
might be an equal
distribution
down the road
skyscrapers
are tilting like pisa
with
their accumulation
the
people sitting on the curb
gather
up the loose change
of
what some call surplus value
i'm
not convinced that there is
any
value surplus or otherwise
worth
litigating
fighting
or dying for
the
dollars are counted and recounted
before
every election
after
all
return
on investment
is
the name of the game
wash
your hands vigorously
after
touching it
keep
it away from private parts
and
wear a mask
