I never wanted to climb
that ladder to Success:
the stepping-stone path up the levels
that bring big bucks,
great clothes,
monster house,
new car every three years,
a decorated home, and an RV.
I was always more in love with the sky,
comfy in my thrift store clothes,
grateful for simple pleasures,
happy with my down-scaled
trailer park life.
I took one look
at that fork in the path,
saw the lives of those
in pursuit of More
- More of Everything -
bigger, better, newer,
faster,snazzier, -
shook my head
and took the poet's path.
And that, as another poet said,
has made
all the difference.
