Mid Life Crisis

Richard Schnap

It sometimes strikes me
From checkout line tabloids
Placed among gift cards
For cheap restaurants

Or when I am watching
TV commercials
Stuck between programs
On UFOs and ghosts

Or passing beside me
On a dust covered billboard
Attached to a bus
Where each face seems asleep

A feeling of longing
For a world I once loved
Becoming more and more
Like a stranger I don##8217;t know
