ready is a relative term
satisfied, the same
cousins, they bumble through introductions—
everyone nearly understanding who they are
nearly recognizing
the ready enough for blanks—
a whole branch of the family tree
ready to go anywhere,
ready for to fade into my own parade
children of Dylan fans—
satisfied with second best
satisfied with a paycheck
satisfied with status quo—
large families, all
their Slavic cousins, the Gudenovs
we are not these acceptors
we are not the takers of less than
Ready to be satisfied?
Preparing to demand more.
