let us not be bitter
let us be better-----

----surely someone has copyrighted that
put their handcuffs on it
charged passersby and tourists
and connoisseurs of slogans
big money if they can get it
surely little money if
poetry sells only a little
or axioms and adages aren't popular in Hollywood
because they don't lend themselves
to special effects-----

I am the moon
always reflecting someone else's light
I am the moon and I'm selling my dust
to put in a locket
it will enchant your love
it will lead to sex or marriage or both
depending on your commitment to orbit
the same planet for eons
the dust is 29.99 with a guarantee
to stay incognito on earth
only when accompanying you on space travel
will it begin to glow and become a wraith
weightless as the love you dream
which can also slide under doors
29.99 call
my smartphone phone today
drive your lover crazy

I enjoyed reading these. I glad you're allowing them to be read without a down payment. Thank you for that.
I'm near broke,waiting until the first of next month. Not sure I can spring for another's words...
I hear them every day and night for nothing.

[good work, tis]
