A Bargain

Words are naked
to lexiconists.
A surplus value
this page resists.

Dare not laugh
at dumpster-diving utilitarians--
Mining use
from the useless
like anchors over
airwaves
weigh down
sensibilities
24 hours a day.


Shadows cast by port boxes
sift away the gold
from everyday's
sun.

It's hard to deny
anything less than
a dollar's
sum.

A miracle of markets
powerful as the touch
of a Saint's rotten bone,

Healing every pilgrim's
want.
