life walks into the marketplace
jumps onto a trading block and gavels
hawking for buyers willing to barter for a
good deal that’s rarely a great one a bargain
but not too exquisite all to be paid with
saved hope and prayers
and so you are purchased sight unseen
as solid and sure as a prayer in a box
your parents now proud owners
of an unguaranteed dream
they must wait
to awaken
