The PostCard
Vivid colors of far-off places
Dancing along with happy faces
Ink spotted from salty air
Far away from this mountain lair
And signed by friends in distant spaces
Pictures presented of world travels
Places I long to see unveiled
I smile in delight at the shiny cards
Symbolistic of adventurers start
Posted from across the world
My smile fades and I look around
Same old place, same old town
Insecurities, responsibilities,
Life grounded in adiposity
Worries and clutter abound
