Nominal, I’d imagine, is in your mind the thick end,
Owlish and hardly gawping, hard-lined, I see you,
Processing whether or not being a loyal customer
Requires, above all else, being a discerning reader.
Egregious, undercooked, stifled: you might claim this
Sly exercise – but pump, pump goes the hidden machine,
Stop! Desist! Mere bricolage soundtracked by my inky grinning,
Unbelievable is the price I’m paying! How insightfully
Realised – I suppose, yes, but only with money; cool,
Elliptical money. Flow, flow goes the money, ‘til it flows[1]
