your market fluctuations
have quantified the price
of my sleep

a matrix analysis of
audio transfer, voice talent,
and intellectual property.
profitable arrangement, indeed!

regulations prevent
public commentary on
contracts and labor unions,
mergers, acquisitions, or
divestures

value exchanged in tequila runaways,
hip-hop grinding, evil grandmas without
gifts, football in the Himalayas,
copulating spiders, needing a key for
the bushes, laughter, a bed, pack of
cigarettes, and race to the bathroom

and though the expenditure might
have been better allocated in
a more efficient dispersal to
benefit you, i have testified
before a jury of my fears to the
fact of selfishness in finding
such time with you a criminal bargain
