I am not going to any office
I won't be spending the day at any job site

The old family property
Will be rented out soon
Maybe in a few years

Maybe one day
The apartment
Will be built for me

I say goodbye
To family
They mostly annoyed me

Except for my sister

It's not good to love people
Too much

People get sick
Things happen
They pass on

Life does not make sense
At all
It is not reasonable
Or rational

A woman that I like
Will not go on a date
With me
I will never know her

Maybe in the past
That would have made me
Somewhat sad
Not really anymore

This is 9:35 at Starbucks
September 2017
It looks like 9:35 in 2013

Everything is repeating
In a big cycle

There go the UPS trucks again
What will the next war be about

I am not part of any programs

I have spent nights in my car

I know a guy who has spent
His life as a slave
In an office

In an effort to gain more
Material goods

Once they start
They don't stop
Work that is

Not that there is anything
Wrong with work

Doing things that contribute
To the well-being of others, etc.

I decided that my work
Was not worth it
Because I was paid so little

Well the professional athletes
Are paid millions
To dribble the ball around...

America America Americea
Isn't it a great place?

All these flags
All the time
On cars
On houses

America the beautiful
America that can do no wrong
America the powerful
America that will never fail

Large empires
In the past have decayed
So will America

I don't really think much
Of this country

UWould have preferred to have been born
In some European country

That way I could have traveled in Europe
The Middle East, and Asia

But I was born here
And you can't change where you were born

You can't change
Who your parents were
You can't change the past

I like to be alone
I enjoy nature
And being alone in nature

There is a white kitty
Across the street

Last night I gave
A homeless man
Some food to eat

I am thankful to have
Shoes on my feet

And I don't want to get married
Just like to eat frozen berries

And I am almost out
So put some more money
In my account

So I can just do what I do

Drank a chocolate milk
Almond breeze
Peace be with you
Matt
