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

Somehow…

couldn’t foresee waking upon

a dysfunctional new reality

shit show carnival

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
