Description
We smiled,sipping talk of stocks
and futures
like the children in ancient ages
beneath the night sky
tracing gods and monsters in our stars;
like adolescents,
plotted names
like superheroes:
Young Money,
Big Time,
Spartacus,
Get Some,
No Excuses,
Joneses,
Cold Steel.
For Real.
Twenty and praying for gold to rain on our desert lands.
Our hands too smooth,
too callous, these hearts.
Beasts are hunted.
And Titans spend forever,
chained in the dark;
their gold time tarnished
by fantastic babies that they bred.
"No"
is the only word we never said.
