I’ve Got My Piece
Of middle class America
Off the beaten path
Day by Day
Working over time
At the office
With no additional pay
A slave to the labor force
Endless piles of debris
Taking the trash out
Emptying the dishwasher
Paying the bills
Facing the spouse
And pretending
to responsibly raising the children
and what is for dinner
and how many calories is lunch
Alone in the dark with the starlit sky
Planning retirement way too late
Watching from a deck chair
What the neighbor in balcony 2, next door
Might be up to from his fenced in yard.
Drained of devotion
Alone in the upside-down silence
Of the unspoken dream
