Poverty



Tall figurs
Figurate under seems
Sewed by tailors
Mistresses and schemes
Dark revealing
Steady stretched sleeves
Holding
Grabbing
Curves underneath

Mixed features
Pacifies greed
Seeds worn
Like weed arose
All though no hand
Spread out seed to grow

Peeled purity
Pillars in duck-pond
Peeled of society is skinny to me
Everything is skinny these days
You see

He’s got a skinny girl
She wears his skinny pearls
He put them skinny jeans
And skinny long fingers
All over her

She drinks them skinny lattes
And speaks those skinny words
To make life go by so much faster
Without acknowledgment

She doesn’t recognize
How she de-fertilizes
All of her woman-ness
With all that merchandise

She’s been taught but she never learned
They greased her down with their dirt
Put on fire though she claims:

She’s never been burned
Dismissed
Seduced
Disadvantaged
Abused Randomly
Infidelity

So,
She puts her act on me
She calls me ‘Huckabee’
She doesn’t realize
How it encourages me
To have a joyous mind
Solid integrity

Sad, say some
I must agree

For
A narrow heart
Is true poverty
To me.
