Liquid Assets

Saw two pennies o'erlapped under pond

under fish undertow

Like all the riches under vaults

the papacy drowned in time

We reap from this the memory

of struggle creating

Formless meaning as the bottom-line

and reason flee the inquisition

Our esteemed leaders are re-written

where they were once base

Now so lauded in song we dance and

praise unleashed bloodshed

Took two pennies one for each of love's

eyes and counted them twice

Forests breathe in and ount and in time

are clouded and cut out

The fish are swimming upstream the

thin rocks aren't telling them

Upstream isn't any more the dam makers

have put in their two pennies worth
