Rich

rich boys
billionaire boys
apparently,
rich boys whose
fathers are
billionaire boys,
rich girls,
never met them,
rich girls fuck
rich boys in
rich houses,
rich apartments,
nice views,
rich girls buy
new pairs
for rich boys
to have
nice views,
rich husbands and
rich wives make
big times, snort
big lines, switch
my drink and
your drink, drink
more than i
can afford but
i’m not paying,
i don’t drink,
i don’t owe
no debt, little
money feels
like big
money, one
bedroom feels
like mansion,
ants in crown
heights, pants drop
in the
east village,
rich boys don’t
live here,
billionaire boys
don’t live here,
apparently,
rich boys whose
fathers are
billionaire boys live
elsewhere, do elsethings
but rich girls
fuck here,
rich girls fuck
in one bedrooms,
trying to be
rich wives, thank
god the money
won’t come from
my family.

Furniture and Soulmates

the difference between
furniture and future
is just the ‘r’, ‘n’, ‘i’

those with no hope of home
tend to run further away

there’s never a right time
to have a child, but
there is a perfect time
to buy a crib, next weekend,
they’re having a sale and
she is due in six weeks.

those birds of a feather
who travel together — i guess
that’s the dream, but i don’t
envy them, i envy bookcases
in park slope.

herman miller furniture stays with you
like grandma’s ashes,
a leather chair passed on,
a dining table never gets old
you only need a new one
because you want a new one
like psychological hunger.

never marry someone
whose apartment
you can’t afford to furnish.

“no more monsters under the bed:
we bought a platform.”

furniture is such a commitment —

too much furniture
and you have no future.

one day you forget
how all this shit
fit in the front door,
unwilling to disassemble

too much of a future
when you just want to
sit, read, sleep, hug.

today:
one bedroom,
one me

one day:
you and me,
maybe still one bedroom

whose furniture
are you sitting
on now
