taking it with you
so I was thinking
once I’m gone
what would be my next
opportunistic move
and better yet
would I be up for it
what I’ve amassed
has mostly
resided in my mind
so to some degree
I’ll be taking
all that wealth with me
there is nothing
that will be left behind
possessionless
& penniless
my presence a vapor
left to chance
