A bartering song
(“what should I barter?”)
- Light for Darkness,
- Darkness for Light?
- Sadness for Joy?
- Plenty for Penury
or, - Prana for Profligacy –
Is that what’s Right? - Crystals for pot shards, acres for nooks.
- Ignorance for wisdom: Flames for books?
Then let us honor: Sidney, Glynn, and
Bokeern?
Bert Williams, Redd Foxx, Sid Caesar,
all Hail! - So, acting is deemed art
A balm of sweet reason
So I’ll make my mark –
My yawp of new
seasons…
Tis’ a Bartering song,
Taste of Freedom as with
Bookman’s pride.
Time, than, let’s move up –
And Alive!
