Notes About The Poem

sterile life is like living in a zoo
-----------------------------------

The Microwave Age

A polaroid, in
my drawer, under the junk
- a memory found.

Wow, I miss fun, it's
like there was another life
- a past life shared.

Remember parties?
Sweaty dancing then a plunge
in the cold lake?

I feel like an old
lady reliving childhood
in sterile pics.

Everything I thought
my life would be is gone or
on nebulous hold.

We're learning a dull 
brand of patience - strange for
the microwave age.

Trump is now where he wants to be, your STAR entertainment! Everything changes with time, but some hog the limelight. Be patient, you have many years in front of you, so make good use of your "study" time! Aloha! Rico

As demonstrated by Trump, Christians grab everything they can get their hands on before the next guy and care less about the consequences because the Resurrection will restore everything. Aboriginals, e.g., do not mine because it is a non-renewable resource which results in a toxic hole in the ground surrounded by unemployed grandchildren with bills to pay. Something to think about!

There's only so much study time one can TAKE =] Rico, maybe you're an over-achiever!
