Money Is Like Fire


Money is like fire.
It has a life of its own.

A fire out of control
can burn down a mountain.

A fire barely fed
will never warm a house.

If money is what you crave,
give it plenty to burn.

    The Air Bubble


    The air bubble
    That keeps a scuba diver alive,
    If caught in the throat,
    Can kill faster than a falling
    Stock exchange.

    Not even death wipes out debt:
    Chinese burn paper money
    So smoke reaches their ancestors
    But without the air bubble,
    There can be no fire.

    Without the air bubble,
    There can be no stock exchange
    Gambling on the rise of credit
    That underlies fantasy
    Money in banks.

    It’s no surprise that Venus
    Rises on the half-shell
    Of soap bubbles selling
    Conditioner for her curls
    And perfume in Venice.
