i have cravings for you
midday, i make my trip
from my brooklyn brownstone
to purchase you,
a woman with a chip in her tooth
and a painted-lip manicure
hands you to me
i treasure you,
feel your weight between
thumb and forefinger,
stashed in my bones
like the ocean you were
born from
i hold your on my
way outside, look
down the street
in awe
because in this city
everything shines
and when you peel back
the layers of skin
it's curious, what
a mistake a body
could make

In America
You're either rich or ******
Or privileged enough
To be ****** by the rich
Medical bills
Car insurance
Groceries
Utilities
Student loans
******** that nobody can afford
Yet everybody pays for
Because this is America
And we need to have it all
In America
I'm ******
Because I'm not a millionaire
And that's the kind of salary you need
In order to survive
