WISH LIST

Here's my Wish List for the new Millennium
I want to be here alive healthy active independent
Not buried
Not in a rest home
No wheelchair or cane
No senior citizen's center
Not treated like a child by twits one third my age
No implants attached to those who'd frame me
No compulsory chapel
No means test or age test
No drugs or programs

I want to be here and see it all
See worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars
I want to live in the kind of town with the kind of spouse
Straight only, of course and local
Who won't try to sell me a behavior problem
Buying into what mean people say
No more assault by unwanted unworthy suitors

I want freedom from commitment inpatient or out
Commit those who frame me instead
Keep them off my back

I want to shop in stores I'm not framed out of
I want a free Mumia and a free Leonard Peltier
And others like them it's not too late for
I want to help worthy causes I'm interested in

I want fun things around
I want to pick my night or day
Freebies a bus ride away
Safe ride home
I want to stare fascinated at
History and classics and gothic cultural diversity
I want to do my share to revive traditional
Bluegrass and folk music full-time radio formats

I work to make it happen
Not just wish for it and trust in God for it
I do what provides for me financially and otherwise
I do what keeps me safe warm fed healthy
I vote stuff envelopes register voters
I sign the right petitions
I work in polling places
I march in streets pass out flyers write letters and essays
Mobilize like-minded people
I do it the old-fashioned way
I want it all
