poetry by j matthew waters

receiving less and less in return

there is greed at the top
and fear at bottom
but where I stand today
     at the precipice of this world
          and the next
neither comes close to mind

instead
I find myself questioning
the validity
     of rational thought
          or reason for second guessing
each and every wager placed
