    On Paper

    Yes indeed, in times like this, they say, "save the beef for our soldiers and eat pork."
    So I'm gonna be a pork farmer then.
    I will sell old Wall Street their bellies from my farm.
    In times like this I should think I will capitalize.
    I like this thing called the "American Dream."
    Just to think yesterday, some lady said give me forty dollars this week and I will give you eighty next week.
    Now I ain't no fool, but I believe that my money would double if that were true.
    I am a thinking why to good to be true... who could make double their money in a week?
    Is this possible? I think five would be ten and ten would be 20 and 20 would be 40 and 40 would be 80 and 80 would be 160 and 160 would be 320 and 320 would be 640 and 640 would be 1280 and 1280 would be 2560 and 2560 would be 5120 and 5120 would be 10240 and 10240 would be 20480 and 20480 would be 40960 and 40960 would be 81920 and 81920 would be 163840 and 163840 would be 327680 and 327680 would be 655360 and 655360 would be 1310720. So...in 19 weeks five dollars could turn into 1,310,720... is this the "American Dream?"

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
