for sale

70% off, 80% off,
it's for sale, on sale.
dull, tired house hunting
for the lustre lacking,
for the spark of life
dying.

how - very cheap,
just $5 on hour.
car on diesel running on
coffee-stained seats,
dusty dashboard
sighing.

just for that light,
anything would do.
down 90%, down 95%
i'll give it free even.
it's called caring.

personal escort. free by
the hour, signed on by his will
unchained. service to nation-wide
needs and nooks.

free, yes free.
all that i'm looking for
is the tickle of the morning dawn,
the bejeweled laughter of light on dew
the shining sincerity of sky-blue horizon

tipping the edge of the dark
teasing and poking fun at bluebells
singing with the fresh breeze.
that's all i ask for.
that's why i am free.
