It's easier when you have got
but in all honesty
I have found that it's
easier when you have not.

the need to keep
keeps you from sleep,
the triple barred door
because you want to keep more,
the sidelong looks
because in your mind
they're all ****** crooks,

the ones who have not.

the ones who have nothing
and yet bring to the table
all that they need.

nest eggs
make great omelettes
but
sometimes
salad is nice.
