we often use food metaphors to describe the world of ideas. We devour a book, try to digest raw facts and attempt to regurgitate other people’s ideas, even though they might be half-baked.
When talking about relationships, we often use health metaphors. A friend might be involved in a sick relationship. Another might have a healthy marriage.
When talking about argument, we use war metaphors.
When talking about time, we often use money metaphors.
But when talking about money, we rely on liquid metaphors. We dip into savings, sponge off friends or skim funds off the top. Even the job title stockbroker derives from the French word brocheur, the tavern worker who tapped the kegs of beer to get the liquidity flowing.
Poetry for Everyday Life

im doing alright now.
im doing okay.
starved my self a little bit
to numb away the pain.
it happened again
i didnt want to believe it
but i saw it coming
your face has left my dreams.
my music isnt giving me anymore answers
im on my own
