watch the man and his
wife
on YouTube
talking about their retirement.
spreading
the word about
their bliss.
how they still don't sleep in,
getting up a six.
they show you
the coupons
they cut
out,
the way they save water
by sharing
a shower
together,
how they use just a limited
amount of electric
light.
they never go out,
never wander
too far
because of the price of food
and gas.
the thermostat is set at 68 in
the winter.
75 in the summer.
they bake their own bread,
and eat
great bowls of pasta with home
made sauce.
they've worked
their entire lives, fingers
to the bone,
and now this.
