Money is Money is patriarchal,
a friend told me,
she’d studied gender for her PhD,
however she didn’t know,
she’d said it to a sick person,
I never had enough money,
Just enough to get by,
but now any money,
seemed a curse of patriarchy,
what a stupid thing to think,
but who knew I wasn’t thinking straight.
Heck! At forty-one, I was questioning if I was straight.
My delusional mind,
but today every good is gone,
and I am in woods.
Hoping, in time, for this mind to come back to life.
For the first time in two years,
therapist said, there is scope.
Fingers crossed, let’s hope.
