Checking My Balance


Tuesday’s child or Wednesday’s?
Well, one of them worked hard for living.
 
I did
though some days it didn’t seem so hard 

As the plastic chair supporting my rear
on the deck of this trailer park home
 
where I gaze above a laptop computer
to discover my account has been adjusted.

Above distant rooflines, within a sliver ocean view,
the splashing energy of a passing whale.
 
I am rich now.  Maybe I always was.
Just didn’t know where to look.
