"Luxury" by Nikki Giovanni
i suppose living
in a materialistic society
luxury
to some would be having
more than what you need

living in an electronic age seeing
the whole world by pushing a button
the nth degree might perhaps be
adequately represented by having
someone there to push
the buttons for you

i have thought if only
i could be rich and famous i would
live luxuriously in new york knowing
famous people eating
in expensive resturants calling
long distance anytime i want

but you held me one evening and now i know
the ultimate luxury
of your love.
