#KAPLONKTHEMONEYGOES

For Anna Lund

***

Kaplonk, (capice) kapish?
I give you one word,
You make it five
Mauerbauertraurigkeit
Tristezza da Costruttore di Muri


Oooohh, clever scheme! Contrive
A way to wash money white
(Dutch expression, can’t translate)
But it goes without debate
That Dutch, Swedish and German lose
and Italian gets it right
A language less gluey, whose
Words stay loose
That’s how currency flows
