“Like a woman journeying for water”
The Good Life - Tracy K. Smith | Berocca Tablet in Water
The Poem
The Good Life - Tracy K. Smith
When some people talk about money
They speak as if it were a mysterious lover
Who went out to buy milk and never
Came back, and it makes me nostalgic
For the years I lived on coffee and bread,
Hungry all the time, walking to work on payday
Like a woman journeying for water
From a village without a well, then living
One or two nights like everyone else
On roast chicken and red wine.
The Beverage
Berocca Tablet in Water
Berocca Tablets are a bit magical. They dissolve like an Alka-Seltzer and are full of vitamins and caffeine. Didn’t sleep well last night? Have a hangover? Berocca gotcha. And it tastes okay!
