waking up

suppose one
morning you
woke up
and saw that
you had to work
for next forty
years at a job
that you didn't
love, but you
had to pay the
bills, feed
yourself, your
wife, your
children. you
had to keep a
roof over all
your heads.
and suppose you
got two weeks
vacation to
the jersey shore,
and that you
were able
to buy a new
car every few
years. suppose
you woke up
and drove to
the train station
to get on
a train that
took you into
the city, where
the other million
or so fine
souls were doing
the same thing
as years turned
into decades.
suppose you woke
up one morning
and said no.
what then?
