you and me


absent in your person and subtle
in your work, for you profit
or loss is immaterial but my heart
hungers as wit wires my soul for gain

as if to carry away to the beyond
to that world of nothing like a monkey
meanly pushing grain, fruit, and nuts
into those pouches, stuffing speedily

before climbing higher to a higher
branch hoping to carefully avoid
in this present height, this world
the loss of funds, faith, and my face
