life measurement

experience is cool
go to another culture
go to another country
sacrifice your normal mundane life
for an experience of a lifetime

what do you do, they ask
answer: work at a dull job and live an uneventful life
what experience have you had,
what accomplishments can you speak of

how to measure a life?

this is not how childhood imagined adulthood
i still feel a child
but the people on the TV are sometimes this age now
in their real mundane lives
the photographer for that exotic award-winning series,
she was born the year before me
