Bitcoins Aren't Just Taking Over Wallets, They're Innundating the News

Ode to Bitcoins
by Rachel Hoyt

That thin air chain of golden weight,
That cha-ching we can't hear or feel,
That incognito, tax free bait
with trendy pop appeal -
 
How big your dreams to change the world,
How grand your plans to keep wealth safe,
How strange your game is tightly twirled
with what makes wallets chafe -
 
Oh that your roots grow strong and deep,
Oh that your limbs bend with the breeze,
Oh that your leaves fall in a heap
and end this fiscal tease.

Ode to Communication
by Rachel Hoyt
 
Happy are the tongue and fingers
Which communicate with ease,
On which no clichés linger,
No abbreviations seize;

Which recognize all homonyms
And put them in their place,
Which know plentiful synonyms
To weave in like fine lace;

Which spin around with tone and tense
Dancing with each word,
Each line and letter full of sense,
Meaning fully heard.
