Mary only perceives
black and white.
She can’t tell
when I’m blue.
Envy and greed
are foreign concepts
to her—
but so is love.
At least
she doesn’t judge.
What we want
from each other is
simple:
attention,
attachment,
arousal,
pleasure,
acceptance,
and
freedom.
In one breath
it all evaporates—
floats away.
The silver haze
caresses
and slips
my grasp,
taunting me.

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?
