Sleeping

Where have I been?
For a month? For a year? For 3 years? For 10 years?
Asleep my dears, asleep. I have been asleep.
Unable to keep the hands of others out of my pockets.
They even found the pockets I was not wearing.
And these people believe my support of them is owed to them.
I, who worked my entire life - as they lazed in bed....
smoking their ganja, which I did not partake but for which I paid.
Lines of white for ALL @ Christmas w/ the in-laws --- but first, make sure the Mama doesn't see us running up the stairs one at a time for our treat.....
What a fool I was.
Working LONGER HOURS to get recognized and paid mo' money...
so the interest on their consumer debt could be kept up with.....
"But this is how everyone lives" I am told,
as I know in the pit of my intelligent gut that this is NOT SO.
How does one keep it going when past the point of no return?
Play the health card. Does not need to be a conscious act my dears....
The cells know when their daily dose of sugar, fat and THC is threatened....
All the while, insulting me and speaking badly of me behind my back.
Why did I bring this on myself?
It was just a bad nightmare, and it is over.
