Survival

I’m alive when I respond to foolishness.
I doubt I’ll make much of a difference
But,the idea that I can still be shocked
By a breathtaking lie, adds to my day.

A friend, having lost his mother,
Talks about the meaningless of life.
Tomorrow he may hear a truth
So outrageously distorted, as to awaken his passions.

Why does Bill Maher tell us Madoff is a Jew?
Is there a bad seed here?
Maybe one of the Elders of Zion
Is making mayhem?

Today is sunny and warm.
My anxieties are in remission.
I will not read the obits,
Maybe no one died.
