"Produce or Create" by Laurie Molloy

I care not what you sell
or the things your company
mass produces.
But i'd like to know who you are
and what you create-
what you want to make.
The original crafts hidden inside you,
half-blossomed-and the rest
newly emerging, fighting for their turn.
I am vast, deep and confident.

But I still want you to take care of me
and watch the sun glisten
through my bay window-
spattering light on my freshly windexed
granite counters-
The cook preparing our next meal
and the maid finishing our laundry,
all while I daydream about our next escapade
to Tahiti or maybe the British Isles.

So even though I say
I care not what you sell
or what you produce.
I care how much money you make
and what you can do for me.
I am vapid, shallow, and uneasy.
