Only What Serves
After so many wasted days
…okay, years…
I’m making an effort to turn things around
No more bullshit, I tell myself
No more Facebook, no more Instagram
And certainly no more New York Times
These are the prime years and they are not to be squandered
Fretting over the inconsequential BS parading around the internet
No, from here on out, I will consume only that which serves me
The sweetest songs, the most magical movies
The works of art that came into this world only after some sad soul before me
had the strength to swear off whatever sugary poison their lesser self craved
So, I too will consume only that which serves me
And the rest of the time I will work
Like an ox in the yoke, with eyes focused ahead, trying to make my way
So if you’ll excuse me, I have much ground to cover
But first, I just need to see if any 1966 Volvo Amazon’s have popped up on craigslist
