FACE IT

You've become your parents.
You live a bourgeois life.
You live in a square box village...
built for idiots,
living Stepford lives,
automaton!
You don't sleep with your wife, anymore.
You fantasize about:
dark liasons with other women.
Of course, they are more than...
half your age.
You dream of Amsterdam...
shucking it all,
but you won't.
coward
conventional
non-risk taking
sumnabitch.
I am the devil.
I am your soul.
I am your hedonistic side.
I am the side you deny.
for security
normalcy
safety
drollness
death
yes, death
you will go to your grave,
sober
respected
well-read
affluent
and bored.
You worked your whole life.
for a nice obituary.
Too bad you won't get to read it.
All the others,
will forget you...
in a day or two.
this is your fate.
accept it.
face it.
sleep tight...
tonight.
Dispell these thoughts.
they just upset you.
remember:
there's golf at the country club tomorrow.
and cocktails with the homeowner's assosciation.
