O Life!
Have you ever woken up feeling
that life is a waiting game, from one
day to the next, waiting, waiting,
just waiting for it all to end?
No more mortgage, no more work
to look forward to (either with dread
or joy; perhaps a little of both), and
all the chicks have left the nest;
Nothing but a daily list of things
to do, cutting the lawn, a fresh coat
of paint in the laundry room, one
little chore after another;
Day in, day out, from one list
to the next, a never-ending routine
of things to do (always another doctor’s
appointment); and then one day
you’ve had enough, and that feeling
comes over you—
O life!
