Tissues And Other Issues

However mean your life is, meet it and live it. - Thoreau

.

for richer

for poorer

joyance to horror

penthouse to poorhouse

roaring lion to church mouse

milk and honey

credit cards and crypto money

skies that are always sunny

it's all funny

'til the repo man comes

and you're walking the streets

with holes in your pockets, sneakers and teeth

your rusty sword still in it's golden sheath

along with a nose that's runny

.

Author's Note

"As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Thoreau
