Here’s a story for you...

Here’s a story for you…
The banks give you debt so you can make them rich
The government gives you taxes so you can make them rich
Employers give you salary so you can make them rich
You get trapped in a lifestyle of debt as you make other people rich
After a long day, after eating and doing chores, just a little time
Take a pop of sweet relief
A fizzle of drugs, internet, television, porn, things to click on
Click until the weekend comes and you can do that thing outdoors with friends
Every now and then comes a bookstore's aroma
Dazzling feelings abound
So many self-help books on how to fix the financial and psychological problems
That develop while you make other people rich
Next to a novel with whales
A spiderous poem
Stories they call fake news
Kick out the stale
Sudden blossom of a hydrangea
Reminder of your whispered connection
Easing the things you carry
Today can be (dare I say) fun
Through a story we tell to retell
Toward fluidity
