Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Today's Free Lunch

for those of us
who grew up
on the farm

rammed down our throats
that there’s no such thing
as a free lunch

still keeping our nose
tightly to the grind
such days bursting now

with youth's feelings of entitlement
reaching extremities beyond
our boggled comprehension
