Maybe it was an issue a lot longer ago, when paper was harder to come by and
the malachite hung feebly from the coins scattered around,
divining a better future. Better wasn't perhaps the best word for them to use,
but it fit. Something to grab ahold of. Something with heft,
not like simple words which once spoken
slimed around the cortices of those listening and escaped through an inbuilt exit hatch,
key in hand, access, succession.
