The watcher....

 Affirmative.

I am watching
almost out of body
and seeing
all around
as the letter to the editor says - this is not the time for the ordinary worker
Here I am
looking for a job - yes at this stage it is a job

to last 
to healthcare cover
to save
to tied over
until a different decison
the next life can begun

the question is  ?
can I make do, can I get through
can I pump up the attitude
to do this

it may be fine, even good

59 and 1/2 and unable to complete my worklife where I have been for 25 years
not alone
and those fortune 500 or  those of the business round table
the chamber of no account
have nothing to give back, nothing to invest

plenty to steady themselves
so called "entitlements" not needed by them

and they would
work us till 70

and still take our due

this is affirmative
