Everything I want

Everything I want is right here

Right here

On the glossy pages

Of the magazine

Where you can buy

Collared shirts,

Hiking trousers,

Socks,

Caps,

Shoes,

Belts,

Bags.

I can become this outfitted man

Tanned and muscled.

Climbing mountains,

Tickling his pooch,

Roasting marshmallows

Driving a truck

Against a pink sunset,

Blue mountains,

Pristine forests.

I look up from the pages

And there’s my honey,

Who smiles at me from across the table

And says,

I have everything I need.
