a life half over

the children

in their thirties are still

on

the gravy train,

the government dole,

asleep

in the cellar

of their parent's home,

grad school,

an endless

process

with no job

in site.

no love interest.

the bills paid, the laundry

done,

dinner at six,

the blue

screens alight.

allergic to work,

to ambition,

afraid

of an adult life.

waiting for the trust fund

or will

to kick in

when the old folk

finally die.
