I saw my worst living nightmare yesterday
It was an interview on youtube
An older man was talking about the rice shortages
I can't begin to guess his age but it was well past seventy
He spoke about rationing cards when was young.
It was one of his first memories
He remembered the hardships of the times
And his mother had schooled him about her younger life living through the depression
He had worries that nagged at him enought to check the stock market
His untrained eye found it to be OK and that everything was fine
But did he really think so
After all
He did make the video
