the queen said it once

1 0 0
                                    

the worst thing

is watching your

life get planned

out for you, right

in front of you.


a car, health, insurance,

money, kids, a partner,

a lawn, the white fence,

church on Sunday,

eggs for breakfast, bills,

taxes, work, and death.


no wonder people

bathe with toasters

and bring their guns

to the grocery store.
