INDEPENDENCE

Most days, it's 
a struggle

just getting out 
of bed in the 

morning—because after 
all 
these years, you still

can't recall—
which name 
they're using

to call
your generation, 
so you're

never quite sure 
which side 
is the wrong one—let alone

what clothes 
you're 
supposed to put on. All 

you really 
have to go 
on, is—the fact that,

later on, 
you'll greedily eat—porridge

of yogurt and almonds and berries and granola—
as if there never 

was any
gasoline shortage.
