all my dreams
cost more than
whatever money
i ever had in my
life
being poor doesn’t
allow you to ever
think any of those
dreams will ever
come true
so, you adjust
and think smaller
and eventually you
keep adjusting until
the thought goes
away
convince yourself
that you have all
you need and there
is somebody out
there worse off
keep watching
the evening news
for validation
the west coast
is on fire
no need to see
it now
saw a guy walking
in the rain today
with a dozen roses
i wasn’t sure if
those were you’re
the love of my life
roses
or the bitch said
she couldn’t get
pregnant roses
those seem to be
popular these days
i give the guy
credit though
it’s raining like there
is no tomorrow but
he seems determined
hopefully the roses
were worth nearly
getting hit by some
asshole wondering
what the fuck is
he carrying?
