fitter happier

comfortable not drinking too much
regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week)
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
at ease
eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)
a patient better driver
a safer car (baby smiling in back seat)
sleeping well ( no more bad dreams)
no paranoia careful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole)
keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall)
favors for favors
fond but not in love
charity sending orders on sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on ants)
car wash (also on sundays)
no longer afraid of the dark
or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage or desperate
nothing so childish
at a better pace
slower and more calculated
no chance of escape now self-employed
concerned (but powerless)
an empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism)
will not cry in publi
less chance of illness
tires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)
a good memory
still cries at  a good film
still kisses with saliva
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick
that is driven into
frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)
calm
fitter, happier and more productive
a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics
