"Currency of Secrets" Inspired by One of Us is Lying:

Currency of Secrets

The currency I deal in is secrets.

They’re all around,

and fools let them pass by

while I hoard them,

waiting for

collection day.


Give me yours,

sell out hers,

betray the trust given you,

any secret will do—

each payment you make

pays out twofold.


They cry about injustice;

they say it’s not fair.

What they refuse to recognize

is that my hands are clean.

I’m only rich

as long as you keep

making

secrets.
