the plastic spoon

having been born
with a plastic
spoon in your mouth
you don't
care about things
such as
crystal chandeliers
or gold
rings. you are happy
with your
lot. you sleep
well, eat well.
you make love when
it comes along.
there is little that
you need, or want,
except perhaps
more time
to write, but even
that slippage
of time won't
darken your day.
