he used ink as currency
posting bail as collateral
to free him from the prison gates
inside his mind
a broke poet
with nothing to lose
but words
a hot commodity on an open market
sold to the highest bidder
he now survives
on writing to appease
to see and be seen
caught up in the mainstream
and swept away…
chasing the paper
while losing himself in the limelight
