id be such a fantastic rich person -
we decided this while walking, while
rummaging through candy-colored drawer
pulls and tarnished skeleton keys at
architectural salvage, while lamenting not
winning the hgtv dream home. id be modest and
generous, build community centers and
literacy programs, publish books and put
out records made by people i see
writing furiously at the bus stop, tapping
out rhythms on their patched pantlegs.
and this is precisely why i will never be
rich.
love,
astrid
