I Know What I Do Not Have... Poem by RIC BASTASA

I Know What I Do Not Have...



how shallow
is your water

only toes
how bland is your taste

no finger licking
how gullible are you in this


thing of getting only the honor
which you cannot eat

it is true
one does not live by bread alone

what now? we need salt
and pepper

coffee and water and a little
sugar beside a
slice of bread

sandwiched between honor and
money

do not ask me i know what
i do not have.
