Rat Race
Payday, the sin-cerest of days when everything appears worthwhile until… your card has been rejected day, and one must ask the toad for more green because unlike love it is what makes the world go around until
Payday, the sin-cerest of days
In the second version of the poem the word sincerest is hyphenated so the syllable 'sin' stands alone both at the beginning and the end of the poem. Also if one imagines the poem on its side you might be able to see two horns on a head. This could be interpreted as meaning money is sinful, which was not the intent of the original version.

Payment the sincerest of daydreams
After reading the original poem the n + 7 poem is comical. I especially liked the transition of the first line. In some ways I found I liked the second version better, sometimes payment is a daydream. One can only wish.
Revision Process
Noble-winning author William Faulkner stated, "The past is never dead. It isn't even past." As this statement pertains to the revision process one can argue that Faulkner is claiming that a written work is a living, growing entity, constantly in a state of flux. These changes are built upon past events: dialogue, scenes, plot twists, and so forth that instigate consequences, so that even portions of a written work that are discarded live on in the portions they inspired.
