graceinpoetry in Poetry & Free Verse

when i am rich

when i am rich

i feed the poor

and cure the sick

there is no more debt

and i give everyone a bed to sleep in

i go to my childhood home

and buy it back

i paint the walls green

i buy a landline

and dig out the old mattress

from the bottom of the dumpster

i eat a whole tub of cool whip in one sitting

i spill gatorade on the white carpet

i unlearn what stocks are

and plant a fully-grown pine tree in the backyard

i take the bus to sarah's

and we sit in the driveway

drinking soda and then

we lose every round of kick the can

because we always hide in the same places
