Gold Hearts

grab this gold
this atrophied currency
for men we will estimate your worth
forgiven are those who believe their beauty
is more expensive than this substance
gold hearts demand to be more pleasant than all of your gifts
strange how it still impoverishes with a dutiful smugness
all economy
buy with me for trade is man's sole virtue
his ultimate reward for hedonism
but while his fleeting moments pass
only the gold survives and impoverishes
golden leprosy
