OUR POETRY EXCHANGE RATE

You are reading this while i await your poetic reply-
"all that glistens is not gold".Currency wars demand re-evaluation
while your poetry lays like bullion stored in unwritten flash drives.
The yellow brick road leads to Rome was not built in a day/
every classic cliche rejected @G8(now G20).I propose a poetry standard-
free floating the currency of ideas in an exchange of poetry via email
Economic anthropology dictates that all value is "relative and culturally anchored"
Gold cannot be"eaten,burned,nor used to drive a car.Poetry can!
Trust in your own expression revalues it.Exchange becomes a currency market.
What do you FEEL about this?-that your creations have both worth and value
and the market is simply those who will listen,respond,and exchange their ideas for yours?
If you have as much faith in yourself as you do in gold-start now!
Respond to this provocation by return poem!
We will soon see where worth lies!
