la dee da

i admire the genius
of those who have found a way
to avoid work.
to live
off the state,
or big brother,
or sister.
a mother who never
untied the apron strings.
the wife
at home.
the husband pushing
the stroller.
the trust fund baby.
they've found a way
to walk la dee da down
the path.
how nice
to not worry about where
the bread is coming
from, the car,
the gas.
how to afford a trip
to Paris.
they've got it figured out.
i've been too dumb
for all that.
punching the clock for
years,
hoping the job lasts.
