Eyes Open Wide


I open my eyes, and no surprise, to awaken

another day. So many in a row, I’m grateful,

but used to the light which reaches out to me

yet again.


You won’t here from me anymore on the day

which ends my longstanding streak of such

good fortune.


And speaking of which, at the beginning of each

month, I check my bank account balance on the

web site to see that the deposit from Social

Security has been deposited appropriately.


I expect timely clockwork on that monthly

transaction. My life depends upon it, govern-

mental reliability, you understand.


And adding to my relief in rising once again,

the punctual timing and placement of funds

enhances my survivability, and does not

disappoint.


With more good fortune, I can survive and feed

my appetites for another month, provided I con-

tinue to open my eyes wide to the consistency of

daily happenings.


Oh joy for my being, and the direct depositing

of Social Security! I thank my lucky stars and

FDR.
