Reality Bites

When I wake up in the morning after dreaming and see the dawn of light, like a rude rooster crowing, reality bites, when I watch the nightly news and hear about the daily crimes, like a terrorist attacking, reality bites, when I get my paycheck and see whats left after all they take out, like an Uncle Sam thieve, reality bites, when I go to the store and use coupons and pay for a few necessary items, like a hungry desperate child, reality bites, when I watch the 2 contenders for the upcoming presidential election, like some horror movie fright, reality bites, when I talk to my loved ones and they're still confused about what they want to do with their lives, like a televised Dr. Phyllis reaction, reality bites, when in anticipation I think about my husbands upcoming triple bypass surgery, like a women waiting and praying, try as I might, reality bites, when I use my poetry as a diversion and finish typing and post it on the website, and glance at the Macintosh symbol of the apple, its just another reminder, that reality almost always bites.
