The Most Expensive

Figured marry for money the stainlessness of it

thermostatic shower simulates but isn’t rain

I simulate rain too. I do lines off a photo

of the lunar landing he says is make-believe

I don’t know the difference most of the things

most of the time are as if our Brooklyn Bridge

selfies aren’t faked to goad our favorite exes

as if my diet of carrots and cayenne is ’cause

nothing tastes as good as skinny makes money

makes the bed and stands beside us like a parent

with poor boundaries who just wants us

to be happy. Mommy’s money takes her

to Key West where she sends pictures of a cat

on king-sized everything says Hemingway

had money, honey! Figured I’d money myself

into perpetuity as if anything weren’t working

back to nothing. Figured marry but got thinking

now the money keeps itself to itself in Park Slope

in a Whole Foods growing greener.
