Living Space . (1999)

So your children live in huts
and disappear for days.
At least you have your health
(Occasionally)
And a good working relationship
With a nearby pharmacist.

So your dreams involve the death
Of earmarked insensates.
At least you have cool shoes
(Check for footprints)
And a viable subway system.

So you’ve been to Jupiter
And found it not so great.
At least you had time off
(For mere behavior)
And now your diary
Smells like stars.
