Jealous Of A Two Year Old

I see a two year old kid

And I can tell

That the clothes he has on

Are worth more

Then my entire closet;

And my clothes will still fit me years from now—

his might last four more weeks.

This kid

Is already further along

In this capitalism game

Then I am.

Lucky son-of-a-bitch.

“Being jealous of the jean jacket and shoes of a two year old is sad.”

You’re right, bald little old dude, next to me.

Thank you for the imaginary words of wisdom.
