NaPoWriMo 2015 is over, but I am still writing. My first poem for May…

This is what my life has come to:
I was excited at paying for my renter’s insurance
and relieved when it was done

Yesterday, I paid a couple bucks extra
to purchase slightly better coffee
and I taste the difference

I’ve been listening to thirty-year-old music
that people back then thought was strange
I find it both dated and refreshing

My greatest goal in life
is to have a night of restful, uninterrupted sleep
and wake up feeling happy
