12,446. LIKE PUTTING FISH THROUGH THE STRAINER

LIKE PUTTING FISH 
THROUGH THE STRAINER
I can't help it if we live in a world
where apples only fall down. There's
nothing to be done about things like
that  -  when those terms were laid
out, I don't think I was present. But,
the rising of dreams and ideas?
Maybe so.
-
Here's the guy with the clean-up
pail again, and with little to do. Now
that half the world is retiring, people
stand around, or drive school buses
and things, for their extra forty bucks
a day.
-
I do notice, however, that no one of
those people ever look up. Fearful of
marauders, they seem to just hunker
down instead and await their new end.
Why bother?
