This Apartment

THIS APARTMENT

i come home from another day of work
to this little apartment
of which has one bedroom.
Sometimes it pisses me off
When i think of having
To sleep on the couch for another night,
because the bedroom is for the two boys.
But I have to be thankful
That I have a computer
with internet capability
to be able read lit journals online
to stir me to continue my thing
and somehow follow
a pattern of living life like a poet.
maybe it was intended for me
to reach a form of skid-row
to fully understand-
it’s not what you have
that makes you what you are.
so I’ll keep this little apartment
rather than trying to impress
others in materialism.
because, well, the best way
to seek material wealth
is right here to strengthen the foundation
with its own line of credit.
