i. equity



bring a plate to the global

table brands are set

to translate into something

more than sulkiness tim

tams will soon greet the aurora

borealis the farm gate is not as

rubbery as it looks     the bone density

dairy carries as much equity as the best

baguette     so don’t break the glass of

simple arithmetic, just leave the red

ink out of the jus



ii.  pot boiler



surplus romance liquidates

malls god’s grim suitors trample

church steps with epic flair buñuel

budgets for a guest list on the verge

of narcoleptic square    is origami

better to snack upon than salvers of

paper balls, well scrunched, with or

without a butler    can charm afford

the discretions of a shell investment

any longer    leaks stench the marketplace

like crabs in boiler rooms    eyes scratch

towards prayer or rupture



iii. write down



take a more conciliatory tone

the bird poo boutique the preferred

vehicle – $5.20 for a cup of coffee

on the kerb another fund manager

backlash, and the gravy train’s provided

more splash back than a rogue cooktop,

ruptured cufflinks in the trash compactor;

i saw sourpuss off to voucher island in a

patchwork suit eating canary pie –



iv. fancy 
bankers danced the zumba junta

in the constitutional ballroom just

a bit of festive fancy dress like a

tv mockumentary on a bitter winter’s

night the pink batt cocktails kept them

warm enough; some escorted current

spouses others escorted escorts there was

a mix up when pecuniary interests were

introduced to love investments, just by chance;

certain guests rang promptly for their drivers, others

rang up potential losses; there was a moment when

the floorboards shifted like a listing, like a tower of

mini pizzas whose anchovies shone like bullets; then

the dollar suddenly shot up reaching the peak of the

continental drapes
