It takes very little to sustain life
Oxygen
Water
Food
but the bare basics lack
the recreational essentials
that make the sustenance seem good.
Enough to eat.
Enough to drink.
Enough to breathe.
may just keep you alive
but the key to life
with a capital ‘L’
is 900 dollars in fives.
A swallow of whiskey.
A glass full of beer.
A steak or a vegetable platter.
A roll in the hay
before you start your day
is the stuff that really matters.
and you can get that stuff
if you marry a girl
with capitalistic drive
who saves all her tips
and socks them away
and gives them to you
on a rainy day
when you need
nine hundred dollars in fives.
