Upon the Dawning of the Time of Your Life
by Schuyler

When a milestone is reached
it means a thousand different things
to different people
it's a time for celebration
it's a marker of acheivement
it's the mark of someone with way too much time
To me it's just a symbol
of some forgotten notion
of a time when life was simpler
and we didn't have to
juggle chainsaws
while riding unicycles through a
flaming ring of fire
on a taut and thin high wire.
You start to think that when it's over
when the milestones are miles behind
and you're waist deep in mud
and trapped between two fallen trees
that fell in front and back while you were sleeping
that maybe now would be a good time to have
a chainsaw
and a fire at least could keep you warm.
