with the fridge shut off
I got to eat the garden, the cabbages and I made already one apple pie
with apples fresh from the tree
also 'reduced' the internet
for less money less surfing
less wattage consumed from this machine
nothing saved, absolute nothing,
because heating is going up by 40%
starting October a cold winter eats money
for heat, say $100 goes to $140
if it's $200 it goes to $280
more than I can eat
food is way up in price, vegetables, bread, milk
so I will eat some fresh potatoes from the garden this week...
one can no longer 'save'
not when things go up by dollars not cents
living 'like a student' is no longer possible
I wait for winter so I can sit under the warm sun,
fantasize what to grow in the garden come spring
but then, like this summer, with night temperatures most often below
ten C, sometimes below 14C...
got flowers on the tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, peppers,
the beans finally started growing, but nowhere any fruits
lots of apples for pies and fresh juices...
so I got no car and no car troubles,
no tv to watch commercials with
so I buy nothing that has not passed the need test
people are boring here,
friendly like hell, hysterics,
propagators of innuendos
and actors acting on their fantasies,
nothing real here, except more false words
useless words
another century of language waste,
nothing but a "Never Again" Museum
