Way Too Analytical
she's not elderly
or of the working class
she's poor
but, not of the working poor
she's not young or old
just middle aged disabled
a baby boomer from the sixties
computer savvy
way too analytical
for her own good
deprived of a work history
no skills or experiences
just a head full of knowledge
and education
because she look lazy
or some other b/s in eyes of employers
looking to hold a girl back
from her dreams and hopes
of a successful life in her fifties
well established by her sixties
a fulfilling life
of accomplishments
and rewards
from her successes she coulda have
