For sixty-three dollars and seventy-four.

For a low price of seventy-eight ninety-five.
Stiff, rough, unstonewashed, bark-like and blue:
Work jeans for only forty-five ninety-two.
Baker’s yeast: white-brown grains to make your bread leaven
Will only cost two dollars seventy-seven.
Rocking chair kneeling on your porch as it repents:
Fifty-five dollars and fifty-five cents.

Go for thirty-five dollars, and cents twenty-six.

Used, for a price of five ninety-one.
Pleated pants, sized for most, in the color of slate
Cost just under a hundred: ninety-nine ninety eight.
Towering, teetering entry-way tree
Of a coat rack for twenty-five seventy-three.
Hot rod of a holly-berry Harley,
Spokes straining the wind like a field of barley,
Shining pipes with wide mouths that holler
For the low price of twenty-five thousand dollars.
