b118 (7.29-1.2024): have-nots

have-nots [i]
by t. h. e. haves

she was my better-half
apparent from the start
until we could care less about the those who had (had-not)
________________________
 
·       yes, i married up:  rich family, rich dad, and a wife who had always gotten her way… never even considering that there were other possibilities for her.

 
·       and then, amid a sexless, loveless trap/marriage… i remembered that i (also) cared about the have-nots.

·       you can imagine the conversations – between billionaire-bride and minimum-wage-girl (serving fries).  it wasn’t always pretty.

·       truth is… i wound-up respecting the folks who actually worked for a living.
