Blind Prosperity

Ah, the daily vagaries
of poverty, life as
a churning succession
of uncertainties.
Will my old car die?
Will I break a tooth?
Will my appendix
suddenly rupture?
Will my creditors
never stop calling?
Will I manage to eat
more than once today?
These questions
(and many others),
so common
for so many of us
and so easily ignored
by so many more.
How casually
we choose
what not to see.
