A FIRM AFFIRMATION

i will neither dream the nightmare of wall street
nor fall fashion victim to the madisonian persuasion,
never worry my brow over systems of (in) security.
i will not give an inch to the bear and the bull,
its gains, losses, nips and tucks, slacks and jacks,
its spit and its polish, the opening and closing bells.
i've lost my mind in better
places, far off, out & over.
i am a child of the goddess.
i lust after lakeside coves,
nip at frosty mountain tops,
dream in constellations and
speak in love-soaked tongues.
