Cold

Craig Elbe
Dec 10, 2020

Not by choice, survival is why.

No benefit of the doubt-need more currency than you can afford.

Need your debt as proof, but I’ll still need more to begin to thaw.

Face value is a lost art, or at least my reciprocation expectation is lost on me.

Why should I, why you wanna?

My depth is far from shallow, without a net.

This is your only warning.

Bring your heat, to balance my cold.
