The attempt to monetize everything comes at a cost

$ & ₵



debit

credit

dollars & cents

tickle the damn machine

find profits in loss



input

output

and chart the flow

no worries tomorrow

the money grows



audit

buy it

idiot ink the soul

but curse the dream

American theme



shop talk

double talk

blind men

see only black and red

silly men

their world is dead
