"The American Dollar"

The American Dollar

By Rory Fernandez

hairy human hand
makes it rain
under the hairless
nude mammal as
the American dollar
provides a cloth
for mum moment
before falling to
cold dark escape

money made maid
cash hungry center
spotlight me, baby!
you nickel, dime
in the slot
kinky like that!
society, public, people
however cash's put
in exchanged pockets

our planned meetings
opening, closing remarks
halfway safely away
from our corners
of the world
holding a conversation
moving towards what
none of us
call home yet

more than hello
soul, mind intimacy
body not required
potential wife
false fulfillment

    Mahalo for the heads-up! Word count is in along with my chosen Sept. theme. All good?!

    Oh, I plan to submit a piece of my mind monthly. I want my brain to function creatively proper.
