Having a dense cube communicates
status to women and business relationships;
investors swoon and women wet their lips;
fellas five-at-best bed solid eights;
the Sharks say yes, and QVC awaits;
while other assets have both booms and dips—
one day auto stocks, the next it’s microchips—
a tungsten cube? It just appreciates
you in a way she never understood,
the girl whose dormroom was just down the hall
who football-fanned instead of Call of Duty,
wanted the perfect instead of the perfectly good
you offered. Now she works a kiosk at the mall,
you heard, and you’ve a cube, and she’s a beauty.
