pleasure or purpose
------
twenty-somethings
obsessed with
sensations, volume, indulgence
seduction
of the senses
apathy
of the mind

those trapped in
midlife crises
search through books, newspapers,
magazines, television
for a way to find
purpose. why
are they still
here, anyway?

these struggles
are chosen
[not for us,
but by us]
