As an ordinary person today,
I live better than most kings have
throughout history.
After all, no amount
of medieval wealth could buy
air conditioning for a castle,
let alone a magical device
that could summon food within minutes
and spill your every thought to the world
with lightning speed.
Certainly my ancestors
were far more worried
about not having enough food
than the perils of having too much,
and my grandma's need to stash
plastic cups and ancient pantyhose
comes from a time
where you could get rid of nothing
because nothing was easily replaceable.
and yet here i am
trying to have less and eat less,
wondering when we fell into this paradox
and if, indeed, we will survive
its inevitable collapse
