Why don't you float me a painting of yours?
I'll sell you a billful of drinks.
Why don't you float me a mound of artifacts?
I'll sell you a Turkish sink.
Why don't you float me a sense of life?
I'll float you two months of winter.
Why don't you float me a week to get well?
I'll float you eight days to get sicker.
Why don't you float me a dream in South Philly?
I'll sell you two shots from the tower.
Why don't you float me a booth in the market?
I'll sell you a field of wildflowers.
