Slated for the Tombs
The physical man
laughs off the material girl
or pays the price.
The duck skins
at the marketplace
do not fool the material girl.
Opinions formulate
but hardly motivate
the physical man.
Funds run dry
and credit stretches
the bones of the material girl.
The physical man
pretends to understand
the things of the spirit.
The material girl
sees spirit
in the stuff of the world.
Both to do a gig
in Dickinson’s
Alabaster Chambers.
