we pay for the skilled hands of plumbers and handymen
purchase tickets to see the brilliance of an actor
but is it possible to buy love bargain for a kiss
acquire someone to adore and hold tenderly?
not with the payment of a sad smile
or a dusty sigh from a pitiful face
not by standing in the rain
or pleading with the moon
not with any currency or coinage known to man
and never by thievery or dishonest means
only one way
through grants and charitable donations
and only Grace knows where when
and exactly how much will be coming
