Discontent


Discontent



You expected life to tumble over you
finished and lovely
with wings to lift you above your station.
 
Like a steam roller down a gravel track,
 how loud reality must sound in your head.

You desire transition
without effort.
Beg change
without inertia.

You find fault with
your mother
and God
as though teamed together
they predisposed your fate.



Mary
