Our House Rules

Economics rules our lives—
games of exchange

The house of our youth
blessed with poverty
impressed on our soft body
everything has worth

water, earth, air, fire
grains, beads, coins, papers
names, books, records, accounts
space, time, light, speed

With Thalesic inspiration
present-day Einsteins
intone the sacred mantra
all’s energy – energy’s all

Neither made nor destroyed
E manifests in myriads
of useful transformations—
eternal exchange without loss

All our crises must have owed to
malappraisal, inefficiencies
& us blind to possibilities
of Universal humanity

Change of games—
Want more : waste not

  1. consumers consume. producers produce. creators create overflow--if not "free energy", at least liberal amounts of liberated energy, useful to current demands--a solar superabundance.
