Amateur Aristocrat
I’m a traveler
landfill photographer
amateur aristocrat
hours on in the bookstore
chai latte with just a pinch
of cinnamon and vanilla
a crescent full of comfy chairs
and extra texts on eastern thought
ready, set,
reading’s fun again
I smoke enough
to hold my bluff
but not enough to harm me
I’m a souvenir
lightweight contender
amateur aristocrat
another sunny Saturday
finds me lying poolside
taking in the rays, so
taken of it all
could you bring an iced tea?
don’t you know a gentleman
when you see one?
I work enough
when times are tough
but never enough to tire me
I’m a remnant
adamantly spoken for
amateur aristocrat
