full circle

with enough money
piled
high
in your vault, you decide
to stop
working. to stop
what you do
day in, day out,
and rest.
you decide
to go rome, go to paris.
you buy and Italian
sports car,
a new suit,
new shoes.
pick up susie on
the way
to the airport.
you buy a white scarf
and throw it
around your neck.
you position your dark
sunglasses
on your nose.
the world is black
and white now.
it's 1953. you've come
full circle.
