SHIT HAPPENS


Greeting Hairballers.

The recent government shutdown, caused when the Dementors pulled a hissy fit over people getting health care, got me thinking. 

There is so much in life we can’t control--hurricanes, blizzards, floods, Facebook and Congress.  Hello Moses. There’s another plague and it’s called Congress here in the U S of A--those elected representatives of the people, who like monkeys in the zoo, throw turds in our faces.  About this, we could do something by voting them out--that especially means you, who vote against your own interests.

However, most of us spend our lives being innocent bystanders in the great game. Imagine this short trip to the grocery store.

a chunk of blue ice
falls from a passing plane,
landing on the top of your head

you hovered above the site
watching the curious stare
at the former you

what if you’d worn a helmet? right
like everyone expects to be hit on the head
by frozen shit dropping from the sky

too late now,
innocent bystander,
you’re dead and

wondering what  to do—
it’s embarrassing
and scary

death didn’t come with
an instruction manual,
you got zilch, again

the ultimate shut down

P.S.  If there are ads scrolling before your eyes, you know where you’re headed--Facebook purgatory.  Maybe death isn’t that different after all.


Hairballs,
