reading this means you're rich.
you got a computer
and
milk and honey
dribbling down your chin,
spilling more on the keyboard
than a kid in Sudan
or south L.A. get in a day.

but, gas, our current piss-moaner,
and what shows are on tuesday night
and the outrageous dresses that
were on the walkway,
and big breasted beauties
fill our eye-space
so-much-so that even a glint
of cold, harsh reality is kept at bay.
