Doomscrolling the day away

adulting not to be done today

I remember back in the the ’80s

& how the cold war didn’t bother me

Was much more interested in

the circus that was my life

& investigating the current sin

Way back then I thought

I’d be gone by now

couldn’t foresee waking upon

a dysfunctional new reality

shit show nitemare somehow…

Everyday

God, I’m too old for Armageddon

my willingness to survive

ain’t quite what she used to be

Everywhere

I’m looking, don’t like what I see

All I want

is the freedom to be Free
