Break up lines, fill space,
shuffle words, don't add to them.
There is always a surplus,

The empty space as costly
as the space occupied.

Cost-effective is the line
zoned in by space around it.
Be terse, name your price,

then make yourself scarce.
Pennies per word multiply.
Each sentence unwritten

another zero on the check,
hole up, count the money
they owe you already.
