Wealth

By Brenton Booth

Wealth

Back then we'd get
          a pizza once a week

and go to the abandoned
          wharf by the multi-million

dollar homes and eat.
          Dreaming we'd be rich

enough one day to buy
          one. Planning in our heads

all the things we could
          do to achieve it, and how

good it would feel. Never
          noticing the eyes in all those

homes watching us on the
          wharf: remembering better

days.
