“I pay my debts in words.” Rick Christiansen

“I pay my debts in words.” Rick Christiansen

They won’t pay my bills,

won’t buy cat food.

They can’t pay my rent, 

put gas in my car.

They won’t win lotto,

or a chance at a slot machine.

They are mine,

my gift to the universe.

I can share them

and smile in the received approval 

by audience. 

They are my vision,

my muses and words.

I pay debts to society 

with my work.
