Choices the Chosen Cherish

I’m proud of the choice I made
to be squeezed from momma’s vagina
in the Hamptons and not old Carolina.

I’m proud that the daddy I chose
was several cuts above the rest,
fetching me the fortune sans the quest.

Proud I am of the me I’ve arrived at,
my private jet, my vessel’s girth;
but sternly must I not lose sight of that
acumen with which I planned my birth.

About JMN

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.

    Having the foresight for insight is always impressive. (FYI – health care in the Hamptons can be iffy.)

      Iffy health care gives pause. Do they have a decent system of public transportation? When I’m reborn maybe I should pick Park Slope. 🙂 (Thanks for reading and responding!)
