A Moment of Vast Richness

-->

Finding

The key 

To a treasure room

Is never easy

Because 

Invariably

You forget

What it is

You’re looking for

But suddenly

There it was today

Eureka 

And it just happened

To be one of those days

When I remembered

Which key might fit

Into which door

I was in a CVS

Drugstore in fact

By the cash register

Suffering from

A bad head cold

When I found

The very thing

I was looking for -

A package

Of Kleenex

For the long subway ride

I had to take
Out to Brownsville 

But the plastic wrapped

Package cost ten wipes

For a dollar or

Ten cents per tissue

And I felt poor indeed

As if I could barely afford

To blow my nose

And then

I remembered

What I’d intuited before

About fabulous

Wealth – that it would

Only arrive for me

Concomitant 

With the moment

When money itself

Had become 

All but worthless

And I realized

Well here I am

Well on my way

To attaining such
A vast Net Worth
