DEPENDS
mansion is
mountain
high
above base camp
high
above
anything
mountain
of responsibility
a whole
community
an economy
the very image
of the architecture
of division and
hierarchy
upon which
it all depends
bread
and butter depends
about which
I am alertly aware
a poem being
a ledger, a cashbook,
a financial transaction
to choose
to write one
you have to worry
where
the next one
will be coming from
where it
all comes from
where you are
going to find them
all those symbols, those
words
anxiety of
supply and demand
