What Dreams Told Me Before I Lost Them

My dreams said -

Do not worry
About money
Or snob values.
You'll still have
Your bylines
To flaunt in dungy bars
while drinking
Piss for beer.

Expect the pinch,
They told me,
Shrinking wallets do that.
Just buy smart.
See, Garnier or Loreal,
Both will dye your greys
Just the same.

Apparently
The sacrifice will be sharp
But its after taste, better
Than the bitterness
Of my envy.
