I don’t need a yacht or rings–
or bling—
only enough wealth
to pay bills, to manage health,
the everyday decisions,
not star-struck visions
(think of
Richard Cory, richer than a king. . .)
but listen to the mockingbird sing—
riches the world brings
This is a quadrille for dVerse, where Kim has asked us to use the word “rich.” For some reason, the poem, “Richard Cory” popped into my mind. You can read it here.
