Sucker. (circa 1999 salad days)

I sold my TV today for $100 plus

a smaller TV and this typer,

which I find too white and impersonal

this upped my money to $140

I drove immediately to the casino where I

immediately lost half of it

I have this guy on my ass about the utility bill

here at the warehouse, my dog needs her shots

and I need food for a week

plus, I just spent $7.98 on paper, lunch meat, bad bread

and air freshener to subdue my slovenliness

at least the damned TV is gone

one of those built-in VCR jobs

all I did was lay around and watch movies

I will miss the pornos

but overall I’m glad.
