free verse (for a memory)
Memories of Mercedes,
BMW’s, and limos
linger but a moment...

I was bought and paid for,
just as we all are.
Everyone has their price.

Single moments exposed
the cold and ugly truth,
hidden beneath your pools
of dark red wine.

I walked away with everything,
while you remained enslaved
to your own vanity and greed.

I was bought and paid for,
but my friendship was free.
Even you could not put
a price on that.

Memories of Mercedes,
BMW’s, and limos
linger but a moment...
