200 Fools

Whispers

In my head.

The Grand Regency stolen, repossessed, restolen
right before our blind eyes

thoughts shift
If I could manage to get two hundred fools to buy in on this idea, for only as little as ten shillings a day, each

for something like thirty six months, no, no
make that sixty months

I would wallow in money.

I bet that MP of ours

that's the kind of calculation he's been making
while undressing these huge crowds

he's counting votes, sorry notes

we counting on change.

if words

if words
could transform to become livable actions
easily
intertwine with the intentions
of mine heart
disperse the fears i hold
bring me sun
bring me dreams realized
not cleverly crafted to sway
and pimped up beyond
recognition
of what they are to convey

if words
i heard could be real
reach into the crannies of my world
and make every corner
glow
make me believe
that these words carried that change
sincere
without
deceit
without
fooling pageantry.
