Poverty in pocket
Means richness and experience
We spend uneventful periods of our lives paying rent
And long practice the dull habit of paying for things
But those years of school, work and middle-cla** lethargy are a blur
Being born again for us wasn't finding God
But shedding convenience
Then life began
And since then
We remember each dumpster, abandoned house and foot chase by retail security
And then
After running around
Crying and scheming
Our checkless items all crossed out
We pause to think
What to do tomorrow
And the answer was always
As we please
