me a book,
a self-help spiritual book
called
don't waste your life.
i'm insulted
by the title alone.
and it makes me think
of all
the workers
in the world,
the machinists, the cooks,
and waiters,
the sailors,
the fishermen,
the housecleaners
on their knees
scrubbing floors.
the nannies, the trashmen,
the landscapers,
making what they can,
while they can.
putting food
on the table,
clothes on the children.
should we send
them the book too?
will you tell them too,
that they're
wasting their lives?
