when you look
upon diamonds
upon diamonds
with your specialized
magnifier — what is it that you seek?
the organic clarity & shape
or do you think about its country
of origin? and, perhaps
the humans who\’ve
suffered for something
that\’s worth…
hmm,
what was it in my day?
oh yes, now, i remember
3 months salary!
completely oblivious
to the fact that diamonds
mean love — especially
since its authentic
essence is pressed
coal — i know of another
alternative that is significantly
cheaper, fun & delicious…
