done-done        done
pushing the river
one…      two…           
one too many times
serving up heaping helpings of
warmed-over vanilla complacency
middle-of-the-road pedestrian 
jaywalking weakly
time clocking weekly
day after day    after day    after day
dainty pinky paper cuts
got all the attention
while major arteries were hemorrhaging
used up boxes of band-aids
but a tourniquet wouldn’t fix it  
smiling the smile of short-term solutions
poking a finger in the leak du jour
until another popped up over there
pointing fingers     let’s not go there
argumentum ad hominem
personal attacks
invite playground comebacks
I know you are    but what am I
there are no good guys
there are no bad guys
only blue eyes and brown eyes
and horseshit everywhere
immediate package delivery
two hours early
two minutes late
it all paid the same
it all got too easy
pre-existing conditions
provided strong foundations
upon which to build-in handicaps
the 90-day waiting period
turned into 12 years
