I’m going to cash that check…

Tomorrow,
A hard-earned $35.75
For getting up at 10:30AM,
Putting on a tie and
Reading from a
Fourth grade text book
The foundation of this country
In 1.5 pages.

Tomorrow,
I will spend that $35.75
On a twelve pack,
A hair cut and
Cigars,
Drinking and smoking on the back porch
While watching the squirrels and hornets
Take over my backyard.

Yep - the essence of our culture - shallow, banal, meaningless. Sad...
Powerful piece - thank you!
