SATISFIED

© 1996 Michael Edwards

Thought he'd be satisfied
Bimmer beaming in the garage
Rover ranging the city streets
Perfect wife at the helm

Content to play out
That familiar cycle
Birthschoolworkdeath
With three turns
Already gone
On the cylinder

Now the hammer is
Cocked
For the fourth
And all
the money
the plastic
the fine things
the occasional flings
the heavy connections
Don't add up to a
Drop
Of gas in the tank of fulfillment

Thought he'd be
Satisfied
Realized too late
To himself
He'd lied
