Most of Your Mid-Life

is spent 

sleeping and working

and working and sleeping, 

getting ready for work,

getting ready to sleep,

and waiting in lines,

and filling out paperwork,

and waiting in lines

for the purpose of 

filling out paperwork

and filling out paperwork

for the purpose of 

waiting in lines

but it’s okay.  

Sometimes,

they show you a good movie,

and sometimes,

you get a peanut-butter smoothie.
