Squirrel Fortune

Squirrel Fortune



Fishnet cheesecloth reels me in

Security for rent

A banker’s acceptance

Preferred over mine

So long as I show interest

Enmesh in your grid

Flinch when you twitch

Turn my head while you cough

And cede the only real asset

I ever had

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Tried to use banking terms as a metaphore for the deceit that can take place in relationships.

An assumed voice.
