Mess

Daily morning walk

With Myles.

Picking our way

Through the debris

Fallen to the edges of 

The road

What a mess.

The aftermath of an

Expensive holiday

More money to China

To get our hit of freedom.

I wonder how much longer

We can do afford this?

I wonder if China

Already owns us?

What can I do?

Besides protect my dog?

What messes am I

Making?

Are there unhealthy desires

That I need to stop?

Freedom is possible.

I know this in my heart.

Please show me

The next right step.

To start cleaning

Up.
