Cash

I went from
living
with
my parents
to being a millionaire
and people still
treat me like shit
and I wouldn’t have
it
any other
way.

I could
be
on the streets
easy
without
the people
who love
me
so

We eloped
on April
Fools

Our wedding
rings cost
70 bucks
at Mal Wart.

I paid her back in July.

I think.

We moved
into a rental
in Denver
with no heat.

I’m at home

It’s 9 below
and when
it’s
a 105
I still
didn’t
need
made-up
air

I do not
want
fast cars
natty threads
bloated mansions
I don’t
want
any
it

I want time.

One can never have too much
love or knowledge

while those
who
have
enough love
or knowledge
say
you can never have enough
cash

I want time.

the in-laws
say I
don’t
work
even tho I wrote two
novels this summer.

I just want time for love and thought.
a license to be me
and nothing else.

Time to stare
thru
walls.

I can do it.

My cousin says she’s saved
cash
she doesn’t
know how to
spend.

Yea,
I say,
when you don’t
want
any thing,
to
have
and not
to
have
is the
same.

the
only
sin
in
America
is
to not
want
more.

I
live
like a dog
and love it.
