Adam Only
​Takes Cash

trevor wilkes
do you know how funny our money is?
blue is less than purple and purple is less than green
but I don’t know how much red is worth
do you know how easy it is to blow through 25 thousand dollars?
42 dollars on antibiotics, 84 dollars on a cell phone bill,
168 dollars on a pair of pants, 700 dollars on some
scandinavian leather boots, some of that was duty and shipping.
 
ring adjustment for alex, the guy adam only takes cash,
he’s good at job, stretching something to fit finger like
stretching words to fit poem. do you know how easy
it is to blow 25 thousand dollars? dei gratia regina
(often abbreviated to d. g. regina or d. g. reg, and
seen on coins as D·G·REGINA or D·G·REG) is a latin
title meaning by the grace of god, queen.
 
the male equivalent dei gratia rex meaning by
the grace of god, king. this phrase is circumscribed
on the obverse of many british and canadian coins.
the phrase, or some variation also has been
used on past coinage issued in australia, austria, cyprus,
spain, and sweden. maybe pound was onto something
about money, history, and etc., other than the fascism.
 
do you know easy it is to blow through 25 thousand dollars
like the bulls and bears on wall street? don’t talk to me
about fucking stocks.
