Sunday Poem: “Ephemera”

 

There are those that understand,

The value of work, the word, a life.

Know how to spin a tale,

Especially their own.

 

An economist runs the numbers.

And the consequences.

An actor pretends

To be someone else.

 

But most are lawyers.

Mostly because,

Lawyers understand the language

And its use.

 

Now, a central banker…

Is a different beast all together.

He’s a magician. And with sleight of hand,

Able to create out of the thinnest of air…
