How fortunate we are

to never have known war
To have enough to be fat
To have homes
To have parties
To go dancing
To be entertained
Medical patches whenever we have a bruise
Freedoms others only imagine
How fortunate we are to be numb
to the suffering
of the rest of the world

687. We loved on the beach
in the sand
waves crashing upon the shores
as the hurricane swept through the front room
on the television
in the distance

688. Those going from nothing to something
sometimes go back to nothing
I lived my life in the middle
And died of boredom
