sell the stories back
just don’t sell them out
we all know you plagiarized
they sell you
wag your tails
leave this place
or sell your soul
gift the poem
to the media
sell the stories to hell
all with the same ending
sell the stories but buy the truth
in the mall
give them away if you can
for a song
for your dinner
but stories like a commodity:
if bought then sold
charge no price
the market for short fiction has dwindled
hold fast the typesetter’s leaden bones
