we alone….

WE ALONE CAN DEVALUE GOLD
BY NOT CARING
IF IT FALLS OR RISES
IN THE MARKETPLACE.
WHEREVER THERE IS GOLD
THERE IS A CHAIN, YOU KNOW,
AND IF YOUR CHAIN
IS GOLD
SO MUCH THE WORSE
FOR YOU.

FEATHERS, SHELLS
AND SEA-SHAPED STONES
ARE ALL AS RARE.

THIS COULD BE OUR REVOLUTION:
TO LOVE WHAT IS PLENTIFUL
AS MUCH AS
WHAT’S SCARCE.
