He loves her to the best of his ability;
She loves him as much as she is able.
They are as happy as can be—
as happy as they can be—
for now,
for as long as they are together.

I am an old thing.
I am all the love and concern and happiness and anxiety
of all the past generations.

I am a new thing.
I am borne from the differences—the spaces between—
all the past generations.

I am thankful for the free refill.
I like getting something for free.

I am thankful it is so affordable,
and easy, to get.

I just had to join the club.

And give them my personal information.
and agree to receive their newsletter,
and promotional offers.

And then I have to buy
5 expensive coffees
and then I'm in.

And now, whenever I buy
an expensive coffee—
and I finish it
before I leave the store—
I can get my cup refilled,
for as free as it gets.

Farewell, so long, goodbye;
Adiós, adieu, au revoir;
Bon voyage, have fun,
I love you.

It’s not easy to be rich;
                                      but,
                ­                           it is easy to be poor.
To be rich, I must
                            always
                         ­               be accumulating more.
To be poor,
                   they just do nothing
                                                     at all.

It’s not easy to be poor;
                                        but,
              ­                               it’s easy to be rich.
To be poor, I must
                             always
                                        be working or else how will I eat?
To be rich,
                 they just do nothing
                                                   at all.
