PARADISE

I am living the dream

I climbed aboard a 737

Bound for the ocean

Sand and surf

Blazing new trails

In paradise

I got a job

A place to live

Bought a car

Started a bank account

I walked the perfect beaches

Watched the artistic sunsets

Oohed and awed the rainbows

I found Mister Right and married him

I was swept up by warm starry nights

And long languishing days

I had money shock at Safeway

And road rage in Walmart

But with all the changes

And all newness

And all the endless routine

My life comes down to

Only one thing

One constant

One inescapable reality

My life comes down

To gecko Poop.
