Naked is the Dollar



Homeless carriage

goes back and forth,

from south to north

to pick up those,

where naked is

the dollar.

Escourts to the right!

Escourts to the left!

Forward is bereft of them!

Early morning stars

straddle's the line

for them.

Exchange the dream,

at the free fare zone.

Relinquish the pride, and

reboard-the north bound,

again.

Take time; to make time

it's always at the end,

of the line.
