A Cost of Doing Business ?


Built from oil,
Soldered steel

Organically—
sweeping the
masses—

Reproaching impulse
and awaiting
for the moment
that allays the
ado of alloys present

A fraction larger than its sum
the freight and
the containers
attributing to the
cost associated with
transportation

Each of them, each them all…trickling, trickling, seeping, oozing
watching
as the dollar falls

Built from oil,
soldering…stealing
yet demanded still….

  1. Interesting piece, Fred. I picture a great many freight ships and oil tankers, and know all too well the mess they leave on their ocean trek. Ever all to meet increasing demand and still not enough it seems.

  3. Yeah a bunch of crap that could have long ago been stopped. But oh no, the rich can't let that happen for then they will lose money. So stupid how they forgo any kind of clean fuel and such just because they want to have more money then they already know what to do with.
