Priceless

Lights

The lights burning red

Darkness fallen

She whispers

$100 pretty boy

Spoken as if

She was selling lemonade

At a Rockies game

Is that all your worth?

Flew out

No 

Came the irritated response

I’m worth $100 all day long

Then you’re worth $2400

In a day?

Her fluid mind 

Slowly did the math

Yes I am!

How do you put a price 

on yourself?

Always have

Was the response

I wouldn’t pay 

Any price for you

You are priceless

Psst 

Was the only response

As She walked away

The seed

Planted

  • Stripping Away

    I’m working on homes Where most often The old oak floors Are stripped, sealed And gorgeously refinished It’s a fun process To see take place Painstaking time and energy Is put into Pulling out all Of the old stains Scratches and wear Meticulous sanding Back and forth The grit getting Finer and finer Funny thing…
