The Way It Is

She only sees me
                        as Maecenas,
                        for her delusions
                        and for her quarrels ...
                        Embezzle my resources
                        Quite sparse and joyful.
                        goes shopping
                       without caring, dealing with costs
                        and prices

It's not all bad, if she sees you as Galius Cilnius Maecenas. Walking around expositions with a young pretty artist, buying her paint and canvas...)
