mr. fancy pants

he had
money, houses, cars,
he had
the women
flown
in
on his jet.
he had
the pool in the backyard.
he had
a sunken tub,
a vacation
home
in the south of France.
he had fancy
clothes,
expensive shoes,
fancy pants.
he had
a barber, a masseuse,
an investment
plan.
a gardener
who doubled as
a chef.
he had a Rolex on his wrist,
and
a diamond in his ear,
but he never had
a wallet, or a dollar
in his pocket
when you went out
for coffee,
or a beer.
