Poem #2,826 | We do not need those things

We do not need those things
that we have been told we do
in order to better ourselves
[a
modest sum] –
That extended
house is about others & not a
bigger home –
how much will
be enough?
Delirium is less a
motivation for some of us –
A
cash transaction out-does all
of love’s expensive requests
& terms –
I only invest in gold
[having found flesh crashes]
