corn flakes?
never been a fan of dry cereal
rather a chorizo and eggs
kinda guy
yet
there is always someone 
just offstage lurking in the shadows
waiting to piss in my corn flakes
haven't had cable 
since i can't rather choose 
not
to remember
old school aerial antenna provides 
more than i need or want
yeah PBS
a dinosaur i may be
no cell phone
my land line is victim
to daily barrage of robo calls
most informing me
the IRS is on their way
to arrest me ... ok
internet yes
facebook no
no twitter no new car
or beach cottage vacation
optimum word here is
no
as in mortgage
or credit card(s) debt
everything i have
is broken or borrowed
so to speak
only new is tools
t shirts from the last century
a treasured collection of vinyl
starting with my first purchase
Walk Don't Run '64
the challenge to find parts
for my 47 year old truck
is time consuming
my garden brings joy
and nourishment to the table
tomatoes tomatoes tomatoes
blueberries blackberries
persimmons and figs
fresh honey on the menu
rabbits quail venison 
fish and chicken
fill my freezer
the excess is traded and shared
i see stars at night
listen to the symphony
provided free
by sometimes too many owls
grey fox deer black bear 
frequently use my yard as passage
to feeding grounds
elsewhere
most days all is good
until some a*****e decides to 
dismantle
disrupt 
completely destroy 
democracy 
and that just pisses me off
