Dream On
It doesn't matter anymore
Who's right, who's wrong, or what's the score.
What matters now is, "What's for lunch?"
"Who's the CO?" I have a hunch
That he or she, while getting paid,
Is just as trapped (though getting laid)
As anyone who's doing time --
In some ways worse, I think, 'cause I'm
No longer bound financially --
No bills to pay substantially,
I'm free to read or sleep or write --
No traffic jams. Secure at night.
A solid roof above my head --
Free medical -- until I'm dead …
I'm free to muse, to think, to scheme --
In essence -- to live out my dream!
