Challenge
what does a dollar mean to you?
give value to a value; how many dollars will you spare?
You are Very Kind—
Truly paper rules my Life
Its tooth & texture
I have loved—
as a maker of
scrap paper
on which
I scratch up
loose leaf
and rhyme;
A strange filigree
front & back
inscribed
on a crumple of
ever changing time.
I am towed
by the lines
of this paper trail
which my own wind
scatters without fail &
Should you find a dollar
—you are very kind!
No need to ask at all—
Fold it like an origami dove
and cache it as a Sign
amid important docs
for some crucial
future moment
in ordinary time.
Keep it—
I assure you
it isn't one of mine.
