not down in the gutter
or high in the cirrus clouds ...
at thirty
holding a cubicle job
I stare at the fireworks-lit sky
FYI: I was reminded of the following remarks on the everyday man while writing this tanka
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
-- William Wallace
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
-- Abraham Lincoln
Added:
this ever-growing
wall between who is and isn’t
deemed worthy
of an American life ...
alone after July 4th fireworks
