SONG OF THE DAY: China Doll


another plodding saturday afternoon
doodling through life's rare free moments
hallucinations of hope
because not at work
this must be what it feels like
to retire
imagine that reality
retirement
not unemployment not homelessness
but retiring still in a home
still eating food you like
and doing what you want to
with your days
because you "earned" it

I am a mark
because I still hope
for a life full of sundays sometimes
but monday always comes

The meritocracy myth is indoctrinated in all Americans from birth.
I know this, yet I still have hope too.
