    A slice of poetry (apologies to those who have already read this on my blog)

    At the time,
    she was not, the President's wife.
    And, at the time,
    he was not, the President.

    The lens clicked and captured,
    candidly, a moment.
    The picture: a place
    in time, forever stands.

    At that time,
    X-Corp's stock was trading, at ten dollars, ninety-four.
    And, at that time,
    Commodities were trading lightly.

    Shares fell. Then, increasingly,
    the markets tumbled.
    The things, on which
    "real" value can be placed, stand.

    Today,
    She is the President's wife.
    Today,
    X-Corp's stock trades at a dollar, twenty-five.

    "Sold!" The auctioneer's gavel crashes.
    And so, into the night, with hands barely
    covering her modesty, motionless
    walks the President's wife.
