Is this the pulp of commerce
shaped and sphered by idle hands,
squashed, pancaked, rolled into thin cylinders,
then placed back into the same pockets?
what benefit was the shaping –
a neat division to hide its abundance?
a mummer’s trick?
does the pretension of work
or the act of holding in the hand grant rights –
to possess, to deserve,
to allowably hoard?
excess wheat
