People Are Pocket Change — Jaded

A purchased party,
transactional at its finest—
some are worth cents while others are worth dollars.
A purchased party,
disputable,
thrown out the window,
forever a lifesaver.
A purchased party,
transactional at its finest—
just hope they don’t come back as a check.
Some might bounce while you give them leeway to cover the balance.
Ya know, get even? Be even?
Then the disputes get filed,
like I was just cents on the floor.
Okay, okay.
