I'd like to be one of those people
who are happy simply
working a boring office job,
only to look forward to
drinking lite beer on the weekends.
Throw in a 401k and maybe,
just maybe, I'll be okay,
instead of antsy and impatient,
in everything, from living to dying,
and the doldrums in between.
Don't get me wrong,
I like the little things,
like running errands,
but the life I've always wanted
is no position sitting still.
In mind and knuckles,
I will never be corporate important,
but I somethings wish
I was basic and boring,
with hobbies like cornhole.
finding happiness is hard,
and no one tells you this
when you're young and dreaming
of being a rodeo clown,
before you learn that's not real around here.
I wish I were a blue-collar worker,
just waving at neighbors,
working on a car, never wishing for more,
content in the opposite of yearning
while selling something like aluminum siding.
