Commodity Trader

Traded and bartered
bait and switch
promises bought
hook, line, and sinker

A stock exchange for emotions
or a sleazy carnival carnality barker
selling love by the pound
instead of flesh

Playing histories oldest game
love and lust and warmth
just pieces moving on a board

Are you happy that you've won?
I always pay my debts
one used up heart was the bet

Would I feel honest and clean
if I'd just bought
and hour of your time instead
