An old lady,
neither aspiring or acquiring,
sat at the edge of eternity
in the lobby of subsidized housing
and exclaimed to anyone
who would listen, that:
The world has turned to shit.
It wasn't always that way.
There was a time
when the country was great.
Before the war
and the suburbs sprawled
like milk spilled on Linoleum.
Before this
internet thing,
and TV violence.
I hate traffic.
Congestion subdues my patience,
and children make me nervous.
I need peace and quiet.
The immigration problem
keeps me awake
at night,
but sedatives make me loopy.
