I knew instantly...
that this plan could work. The few regulations rarely caused the overseers to look askance. I knew if I could get away with it for eight months, it would build on its own accord and take flight into numbers only dreamed about. It did.
Jail didn't scare me ~ I knew the big house man was good for a pardon. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain. TARP covered us all very smartly. We were too big to fail and people would forget about us as soon as American Idol came on.
It was well worth fifty billion for me...
A fictitious 'think' for Bernie ~ the truth lies with Madoff.
Prompt from Sunday Scribblings
***
in the space of dark
where the faults
live unfettered
a flinch was dotted
by shrug and pout
one denial frittered
dawn pressed eject
exposed the blemish
as guilt grew a pardon
Michelle at Poefusion Friday 5 offers the following words for today's prompt: blemish, eject, flinch, pout, dot
She never fails to select words that jostle the imagination.

I didn't want to be here
where the shade is deep
and the sun is rare
an unplanned spree
brought me to this site
where I didn't want to be
breezes fail in freshness
nights fill with metal noise
silence is my dream of bliss
nearby hills hold my kin
cedars, pine and royal firs
but here I am in town
where her backyard
dwindles down and
where my taproot sank
