GOD OF THE INVISIBLE HAND
swift Hermes herald of the gods
artful cunning cattle rustler
god of roads and border crossings
patron of traders liars thieves
discloser of meanings bringer of dreams
conductor of souls to the underworld
small wonder the invisible hand
flowers before you treacherous
god of cattle futures and hedge funds
derivatives and algorithmic trading
Jon Green suits golden parachutes
“good wars” and terror alerts
flowers before you treacherous
god of cattle futures and hedge funds

“good wars” and terror alerts

“Blood is the money that runs
through our system” O Hermes
you narrow fellow in the grass
the dreams you bring are dark dreams
the news you deliver stinks of the grave
“Blood is the money that runs

I cheated, actually. The tongue-slip was last Friday. The poem and the <a href="http://perpetualbird.blogspot.com/2009/12/freudian-slip.html" rel="nofollow">previous post</a> developed together, but the poem—being shorter—took longer to finish….
Loved seeing this idea from first notice of someone's tongue-slip to an actual poem! And in 24 hours, may I say! Good work.<br />Bob King
