Drifting in the Aether


Steve Suranie & Family


archaeologist
I found a used chamber pot
journalist at night

student loans are due
I teach myself graphic design stuff
get contracted job

old job gone, new job
take a trip to Africa
return, marriage, unemployed

visit Amazon
get malaria attack
almost die of ignorance

freelance done, new job
working my tail bone off
sea kayak obsession

no more bonuses
the bubble has really crashed
corporate burnout

I am consulting
what do you mean your pregnant
fatherhood is grand

hello corporate world
what do you mean your pregnant
a boy, a girl, cool

I write a kid's book
that no one wants to publish
I still think it's good

living in the burbs
white picket fence, two kids, two cars
getting restless for a change

career on cruise control
what do you mean you're pregnant
oh my God, it's twins

thinking of next move
want to be own boss again
planning stages begun

- Steve Suranie
