like I’m fresh off the mint
like I’m flush with power
like I can do anything I want
like I can get anyone to do anything I want
like I make men’s hearts beat hard
and turn the heads of women on the street
like I’m utterly unattainable
like if you answered all the questions correctly
I would give myself to you
like I could sit in a dark room and make myself
grow and grow and grow
like cancer or an amoeba
like I’ve just spent the last three hours
stuffed inside a duffel bag
in the trunk of an SUV
driving south on the Turnpike
like I’ve changed hands more times than I can count
but the IRS can count
and does
like a drop in the bucket
like I could vanish without a trace
like if only you could find me
make me
have me
keep me
everything would be all right
like I’m all things to all people
and only worth what they say I am
