I just came by for a glass of Mavrodaphne
and instead got a shoebox full of dollars
what arrogance at a time when one bitcoin would have sufficed to buy
a few cucumbers
Let's not talk politics while we starve our children
and drink Hammy's stuff when we could be enjoying Baumard
or quietly just basking in the shadow of
our intimate friends
a slice of toast and thou
company in our precious solitude
perhaps never to be attained again
(2022)
