who am i kidding
i was
truly
without words
last night
i was yawning
even
before dinner
which is pretty early
due to
my rising
before the butt crack of dawn
eating lunch before noon
i am going to fit right in
if i ever retire
to
one
of those over 65 developments
early bird dinners
sunset specials
i would laugh
but
its not funny
my husband
11.5 yrs older
is
younger
than me
in every way
speaking of older
remember
how i whined
about the comptroller's office
möbius strip
of
form filling?
well
i called the 800#
on the letter
only
to
discover
there
was
no
option
to speak
to
a human being
i decided
to give in
fill out the forms
again
have them notarized
again
i got it all together
for my sister to notarize
and
set it aside
saturday
toonman brings in the mail
announces:
'you've got jury duty'
i am
not
happy
about this
but
i take the letter
from him
i am going to postpone it
i mutter
then
i look at the return address
its
not
from the county clerk
its
from
the comptroller's office
it looks
suspiciously
like a check
getting it open
was fun
it was
sealed
folded
like
origami
inside
was indeed
a check
for those stocks
i
never
had
physical possession of
hopefully
this upcoming election
will bring in a new comptroller
i hope
he
notices
fixes
all
the
redundancies
