$160.
That’s fair market price
for your component atoms.
     You are value added;
you are more than organs,
yet you’d make more
dead than alive -
up to $45,000,000
for the whole buffalo -
so don’t spend it all
in one place, or borrow
too much on your net worth.
     You are not an ATM -
the profit margins are too thin -
your share is in the earth.
