Another day on the calendar peels off
at prospects for a NEW year some scoff
what could be a wanted change
distinct from encountered range
to set bars higher
for quality to be better admired
and needless quantity to be undesired...


Its another day with higher number
the elevator of one's life ascends
sometimes stuck at a floor or two
it mounts to put one at great heights
greater expectations
addition as arithmetic flirtation
with it one can't subtract the glut of years
a useful tool to count lots of people fears
the xenophobia among indigenous groups
dislocated lots of inactive native sorts
on what does addition see as a final resort
but the sum of day periods that continually peel
at an empty fish catch, life loses original appeal

Hey Maureen

That's how I've been feeling with an old student loan to pay back, it's like an unwanted mortage that makes you think too many times before spending...but life isn't all about spending money...
