Cosmic parking tickets

She left a ticket underneath my wiper
while I was sitting with coffee
and an open notebook.
She was also writing,
citing the squandering of my gifts
and assigning a fine:
The continued dissatisfaction with my life
and everything in it.

She put a smiley face after her signature.

How was I to know what the meter maid
had secreted inside the searing yellow envelope,
"Violation" displayed boldly across the outside?

Hey,

I don't know how this will appear, but I'm hoping it's something I can' use to talk to you before you post a comment. I realize it can be a bit of a turn off to have your comments submitted for moderation and not posted immediately. I post every comment I get, I just want to know that I've gotten one. So I'm not as controlling as it may seem. So tell me what you think! Thank you.
