#028: $ix Dollar Bills

Six United States one dollar bills displayed so that both sides of each can be seen.  They all have a four-letter word written in large capital letters on either side with a short sentence (or part of one) written in smaller letters underneath.

Bill #1 Obverse: LOVE 

                                        I love what you can do for me, the doors you can open.

                Reverse:         HATE 

                                        I hate how you shut me out, the walls that you build.


Bill #2 Obverse: TALK 

                                        You talk to me, promise me the stars.

                Reverse:         LIAR 

                                        You lie to me, every offer is fake.


Bill #3 Obverse: RISE 

                                        Each rise you offer, the most amazing views,

                Reverse:         FALL 

                                        Each fall ends badly, crushed by hidden traps.


Bill #4 Obverse: CHIC 

                                        Yet you are so chic, an accessory that talks big.

                Reverse:         JUNK 

                                        No matter the junk, the shit empire I’ve built.


Bill #5 Obverse: RICH 

                                        Tissue of the rich, liner of the nest,

                Reverse:         POOR 

                                        Cruel bane of the poor, a necessity too rare.


Bill #6 Obverse: FREE 

                                        And so, will you set me free, open roads to me?

                Reverse:         SERF 

                                        Or will you enslave me, shut off every forking path?
