356. Grindr stories

oh you say
i sleep with the wrong kind

well
so do you

mine seek
money
and no drama

yours seek
english
and perfect punctuation
(though i don't know how grammar helps a one-night stand)

the ones i seek
want money for a living
no pretense
just food for sustenance

and yours,
they
want
an illusion of depth
a parody of intellectual stimulation

i look through my wallet
to give mine
bills

you jump through hoops
to give yours
validation

my language is
money

your currency is
language
