She fears that credit cards
and government servantshave replaced Santa and Jesus as all seeing,
all knowing powers to be reckoned with.
Ignore the ever-present snoops
and be labeled an out of touch fool.
Try going off the grid and
be compared to the Unabomber.
Voicing caution
may accomplish little more than
elevating her place on some list,
that she has been assured does not exist.
Welcome to the new America,
and the global neighborhood,
the new now,
and by the way, good luck.
