little bearer-bonds of poo
little bearer-bonds of poo
that I retain through
the successive epochs of
my life—all I failed to do.
the successive epochs of
my life—all I failed to do.
For example, I failed to make the crew
because I had the wrong kind of pants on.
Please accept this little bag of poo in lieu
because I had the wrong kind of pants on.
Please accept this little bag of poo in lieu
of proper payment. I do
my work and have my fun,
but there’s always some aught else that I fail to do—
my work and have my fun,
but there’s always some aught else that I fail to do—
some ass-kissing salute I fail or refuse
to give. But collecting little bags of poop
is stupid—no one wants to be paid in poo
to give. But collecting little bags of poop
is stupid—no one wants to be paid in poo
because of some dumb superego
imperative about shit I should have done—
the things I failed to do,
whole bank vaults of poo.
