despite having the best time,
i find a strange ambivalence
thinking about the cost,
not to myself,
no, but to the onlookers,
the waiters and waitresses,
the bellboys and barkeeps,
the deckhands and drivers,
watching me drop in a weekend,,
casually and with unmistakeable style,
the earnings of their entire
month?
quarter?
year?
thinking about what they could do
if only they had the
luck,
chance,
fortune
of a middle-class American.

the sieve and the sand 
An awkward situation to be in, yet I don’t know if I’d be so quick to relinquish my middle class status either.
i’d relinquish it in favor of upper middle class bearded theatrical internet fame
Point taken.
well who wouldn’t; the beard alone would be enough.
