YouVille

Imagine your life
is a small town,
let’s call it YouVille.

You awaken one morning,
where you’ve been living,
on the outskirts,
in a bit of a ramshackle,
to be honest about it.

It dawns on you,
along with the sun,
that you’re the Mayor,
but you haven’t
gone to City Hall
in years.

You’re probably
the one-person
City Council, too.
Who’s been doing that
in your absence?

What happened?
You love this town,
you grew up here.
It’s beautiful!
Look at those views!
How long have you
been sleeping?
Who cares?!
You’re awake now.

Have some breakfast,
then go do what
you came here to do.
