Deprivation
Looking at the zero balance in her checkbook
she booked a first-class flight to Madrid — ole!
Standing at the bus stop in the pouring rain with no umbrella
she unpacked her picnic basket on a golden June day.
Watching her old boyfriend get married in Christ Church
she walked the streets of Paris in the arms of McDreamy.
Losing her job to a nubile young airhead
she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Stockholm.
Driving her 1993 Ford Aspire with the muffler hanging off
she raced her Porsche in the Indie 500
Eating ramen noodles with ketchup at 1 a.m.
she sent the medium-rare prime rib back to the chef.
Sitting in a wheelchair in an old folks’ home
she chased butterflies through fields of daffodils.
