Get Used to It

Karsten Turrey

The grass is always greener
So they say


The wine is always redder
In another's cup


The glass is clearer
The brass shimmers
The relationship perfect
The man heroic
The women heroin
The money stacked higher
The house larger
The Dodge Charger
The corvette


Take a second to
look at what you have


A trash can
Half a bed frame


At least you have a trash can and half a bed frame


A middle and a last name
Nobody knows your last name


An itch on your elbow
At least you have
hands to scratch it


What do they really have?


Fake grass an artificial turf
Looks green and you
never have to cut it


Great wine


They probably have great wine


Clean glass from a distance smudge marks invisible from the far side of the brass gates


Perfect relationship


They probably have
a perfect relationship


Strong man with a beautiful women
They compliment each other
As do their house and their money
Their corvette and their Dodge Charger


All in all they are better off then you


Life's shit get used to it
