Here I sit warm and cozy
having paid the rent and bills.
The gas bill is three-times
higher than it runs in the
summer. Oh well, although
the price of everything has
gone up, I have enough to
cover the cost of living.
I’m nearly 75-years old,
disabled and don’t need a
lot to keep me going these
days. I’m making my
grocery list. My son does
my weekly shopping
for me. Those costs
have gone up appreciably
as well. What the hell,
all-in-all, I can’t complain.
There’s a war in Ukraine.
Innocent people are dying,
bombed out of their homes,
and forced into fleeing for
their lives. This terrible
situation could easily trigger
World War III, and then
where would we all be?
So, there is always that,
poverty, homelessness,
inflation, global warming,
Racism, the Republican
Party, and a whole world
of turmoil and disruption
out there. Which reminds
me, I’d need to add
ibuprofen to my list.
I’ve got a goddamned
headache.
