Non-Erotic Poetrydifferent live$
a new life is made between the sheets
a life is worth a pile of money
how big a pile of money?
one crumpled handful if the sheets were in yugoslavia or russia
a lunchbox of money if in sweden or england in a 3-bedroom house
and a truck-load if uncovering the sheet
the one nearer the ceiling and gold chandelier
presents a view of an oil tycoon and a press tycooness
but if a life is made in a damp cardboard box
shared by a bunch of sleeping babies and sleepy flies
then life is worth (more or less?) but a tear
