Cold Lucidity

Relative heat says: money worries 
are not your reason for being.

In stodgy sayings, I trust,
as my unconscious bias drives a nicer car
than my free will can afford.

Scoop, cookie dough icy dreams
guarantee e coli poison
and over-simple egg on my face. 

Light is a financial metaphor:
have enough and your excess energy
makes reading possible;
without it, you can't see.

Friction is opacity, solid water, and the price of milk.
