Little Treats:

I will die long before I will ever
be allowed to retire
I will never own a house
I may never finish paying off my car, even
and I will undoubtedly accrue more medical debt
than I can ever pay off
so knowing all of that
why can't I have a little treat now and then
while I'm still able to enjoy it
one day I will become too disabled to do anything
and then I will die
I have no faith in this country or this world
to prevent it from happening
so I've accepted it
that my best days are behind me
that I have no choice but to live in the present
so why can't I have a little treat
