Forget to Trade

Exchange: the marble for a winner.

An A to the brighter light.

Two dollars, one coffee.

A gift provided to the holiday
sacrificed to the savage holy powers.

An [I] for(given)ess.

Where are the leeches who can
remove the truck from the barter
undo the price on the life
decode and scramble merit?

Life is too cheap to pay for
and too expensive
to t(ransac)t.
