OBSERVATIONS OF LIFESTYLES
Such a boring suburban life
wake,
morning tiolette,
eat,
exercise,
nap (maybe)
eat,
cook,
entertain self
(with no money and no destination)
eat
evening toilette
tv
snack
bed.
Repeat
repeat
repeat
for the rest of your life.
Country (rural) life
wake
say hello to birds, deer,
have coffee
and more coffee.
garden
clean
gather berries
can jam and jelly
eat - maybe
sew
mow
feed dogs
walk dogs
feed chickens
gather eggs
walk fences and dogs
check cattle and horses
feed if necessary
brush dogs
build fire
prepare meal
watch lightning bugs
gather and cut wood
listen to music - dance
eat
tv
snuggle with dogs
say prayers
evening toilette
sleep.
So I have deduced that if you must go through life broke
and must endure the mudane day after day
there is just simply more to do in the country life
It has more beauty and diversion
it has more charm and simple enjoyment
and if you are lucky enough to have family
many more opportunities to share beauty and joy.
The hustle and bustle of downtown life
has its perks
shopping, and restaurant exploration
people watching and open markets
dances and live music
parks and museums
but without money
the broke downtown life is just full of noise,
junkies, and pimps and whores Oh my.
and sufferring and want and destitution and
despiration.
