The Value of Living

An interesting drug, money,
how it puts off thinking
about how the worries of life,
eats away that the time that we have
and the making of it allows
us to think about all of the rewards
we will give to ourselves
for being so clever,
and yet there is the ultimate
or the eventual,
or maybe only simply the ideal,
the perfected thought
that never having to worry about anything
is never going to happen
no matter how much money we have,
but then at least it can be more comfortable
to die while the jackals fight over your estate
instead of all the hours
that moron scrimped and saved to spend
all that time with his boy, fishing
and building model airplanes
to hang from the ceiling
of the mobile home.
