keepting it afloat

everyone you know
is tired.
the long hours,
the kids,
the bills, the car
and house
all needing attention.
they are worn
to the bone with life.
they can barely
speak
of fun, or relaxation.
their eyes are flat
and red,
thinking forward
about what's to be
done next
to keep the whole
thing afloat.
wine helps. sleep, when
it comes helps too.
but they see no escape,
no way out,
it's just another day
with no beginning,
no end.
