Money and credit: gossip
Abstracted, gossip
For strangers to trust strangers
Since we don’t know from strangers.
Gossip and ostracism,
High social standing,
Hospitality and trust:
These are the true currencies
Of human fortunes.
The rest of nature,
We mostly safely ignore.
Opinions and bank accounts
Are fairies. Words and numbers.
Our vampire fairies bite us.
